The Strength in Calm: An Unexpected Lesson from a Tricycle Ride
Calm individuals are emotionally strong people
One day, I was on a tricycle going to Church. Then we met another old man who was also taking the same route.
The man appeared some how tattered. The clothes on him were dirty and shabby. He boarded the tricycle and we drove off.
On reaching his supposed destination, the driver asked the man that we have reached and the man insisted that he still has a few miles to get to his actual location before he drops.
Without complaint, the driver drove further. This time, we passed where this old man said to be his precise destination.
“I told you, I am dropping a bit further. Now you have passed the place,” the old man muttered angrily in a loud falsetto.
As soon as the driver stopped, the old man stepped down and walked away without saying a word; he didn't pay the tricyclist.
While the old man was walking away, the tricyclist called and called the man, but he refused to even acknowledge it.
Calmly, the tricyclist just drove off without saying a word. From his countenance, I knew he wasn't pleased with the action of the old man.
