Road rage…
Tonight, on the way home, I saw a couple very inconsiderate drivers. I started wondering what REALLY cause road rage. What REALLY cause people to start tailgating, high beaming, and honking? Is it because people are stressed out? Is it because they are in a hurry? Here’s an interesting thought. Or is it because we regard the drivers on the road as CARS and not as other human beings?
We frequently get mad and frustrated with machines because we expect them to be perfect. Often times, we would openly express these frustrations verbally and/or physically. On the other hand, when we interact with other humans, we don’t expect perfection. In fact, we expect IMPERFECTION. And because humans have feelings, we often restrain the desire to openly express our frustrations. We even lie sometimes just so others don’t feel bad.
I think if everybody can view other drivers as human beings instead of some inanimate machine, everybody would be more calm and considerate on the road. What do you guys think?
