I'm trying something new. Everytime I wave at someone who does not wave back, have someone on my rear bumper driving like a jerk, get behind a slow person in a check out line at a store.....I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. I'm telling myself, maybe they drive like a jerk because they will get fired if they are late for their job, maybe they are not waving back at me because they are deep in thought, maybe they are slow in the check out line because they have an illness........I don't know how long I'll be able to do this since my initial reaction is that people are jerks in general and I've never been one to just "let things slide"....especially when I'm 90% sure the person is actually being a jerk in spite of any excuse I can come up with. But it has taken the edge off of life for me to some degree. Guess that is worth something.
