The brake pedal was pressed hard.

We weren’t going too fast.

We were pressed against our seat belts.

We stopped.

Nobody was hurt.

I expected that we would just continue on.

But no…

The driver’s emotions took over.

He got out of the car and approached the person.

A man over 40.

I saw a scene I’ve struggled with most of my life.

Unbridled rage.

Thankfully, it didn’t come to blows.

But acting so recklessly is unacceptable.

You can never know whom you are approaching.

What’s in this person’s mind.

What he has hidden away.

Who is with him in his car.

Not only did he endanger himself, But also us, the passengers.

Moreover, he wasted our time.

On a tantrum.

Learn to keep your emotions in check.

One day, it might save your life.
