everybody behaves in a certain way for some reason of their own. so don't be too quick to judge because you'll never really know what the person has experienced before to make him the way he is now. many times, when we think we know something, we really actually don't. because you'll never know what you don't know.
when i was on the road today, a car suddenly appeared behind us and tailgated us like crazy, horning even though we weren't hogging the road. he eventually zoomed pass us and swerved his way through the traffic ahead. my friend grumbled a little about that unreasonable driver. i would too, usually. but today i didn't. there wasn't even a hint of frustration in me. it was unusual though, because i usually wouldn't think so much into such an incident but when i saw the car behind us through the mirror, somehow a thought crossed my mind that the driver may be in such a rush due to a justified reason, like maybe he was rushing to see a dying relative or something. when our vehicle passed the lane where the car turned into, i made an effort to look out for the sign board.
the road he turned into was one that led to three hospitals. my heart dropped.
then i recalled the incident that occurred just yesterday, i was stuck in a crazy jam on the highway and so was an ambulance. its sirens were on.
as much as the other motorists tried to give way to it, they couldn't. and we were all stuck in the jam for a good (or should i say bad) fifteen minutes or so. every minute my heart was dying a little. i don't know why i was so affected but it kinda ruined my day.
sigh, the mood congruency theory is true indeed. unhappy thoughts are flowing through my mind like nobody's business and i'm feeling even more upset than i was. maybe i should just turn in early. goodnight. :(
