I have noticed so many unhappy people, who seem content in a world of anger. While I don't think anger in it of itself is a bad thing, I think people miss out on so much when they are consumed in their rage.
We rage when we drive because the person in front of us doesn't pull ahead quickly enough at a light. We rage when someone cuts ahead of us in line at the supermarket. We rage when we feel we are cheated, lied to, let down or betrayed. Rage is such a knee-jerk reaction to the common everyday events that people almost expect to be yelled at or have a disgruntled reaction to any and everything.
With so much negative energy in the universe, how can we expect to overcome with goodness?
The best way to start is to expect that people are inevitably going to make mistakes, but they are also filled with great potential for greatness and beauty, and to focus on being the first one to offer a kind gesture and an apology, even if we're not at fault. It's amazing how being nice to someone can help them to want to be nice too.
And who knows, maybe they're having a crummy day too.
Just remember to be the person you wish someone else would be to you, and you can start a chain of kindness that will keep going.
