How you drive says a lot about you

Okay, I know its nothing new to be angry about other drivers but I just can't understand how people can be so inconsiderate. I'm driving down Market Street in West Chester and traffic is really heavy this morning. It is the most aggravating thing to watch people cut down the turn only lane to pass everyone and then cut back in. I know there was construction blocking Church Street so not everyone was trying to cut ahead but these are not isolated incidents. When only one lane was open on Market Street, people did it all the time. I would drive down both lanes to stop people from doing that. It was great to see how mad they got. I take a different way to work just to avoid the aggravation. But what it really comes down to is how thoughtless and inconsiderate some people are. It may seem like something simple and petty, but it really says a lot about a person. It says that they could care less about anyone else or how long they've been waiting their turn, I don't feel like waiting so f*** them. It shows their complete inability to see things from another's perspective. It amazes me the lack of empathy people have for others. Not just when driving, but in life in general. Its not as simple as being selfish or self-centered. Its not being able to understand or sympathize with anyone else's needs or values. But people's lack of empathy is a topic for another day. What I am really trying to emphasize is the "I'm only looking out for myself" mentality. I can understand having some cynicism but there is such a lack of courteousness today its frightening. I bet if you asked one hundred people what the Golden Rule is, less than half would know. I choose not to be cynical. I know people may take advantage of my good nature and basic trust but I would rather that happen once in a while and do the right thing, than be miserable and distrustful all of the time. I have helped people in my life with money, shelter, clothing and friendship and been completely betrayed. But I'm not sorry I did it. It hurt, but I know that I did what I could to better someone's life. They're the ones who have to live with their actions. And I doubt they are very happy people. So treat others the way you would want to be treated, or the way you would want someone to treat your mother. You may come across a few assholes but you'll meet more people who appreciate it. And you'll be a better person for it.

I know I kind of stretched the topic but my point is, how you drive says a lot about you as a person...and a lot of people aren't very nice.
