[World Peace]
———-
The Way I See It #69
You can work for peace on Earth every day, in the comfort of your very own car.
It’s easy; just follow the Golden Rule.
Don’t like being honked at? Don’t honk at anyone except in warning.
Want to be let into traffic? Let others in.
Don’t like waiting for the intersection to clear after the light turns red? Then don’t push lights.
What else can you do for peace today?

I agree with her about doing these things, but I don’t agree that it’s easy. For example, we’ve all cut people off whether it was unintentional or not, but we’re so easily perturbed when others do it to us.
Let’s all strive for world peace [on the road].

amen to world peace (on the road).
if i was a miss america contender and i was asked what my hopes and dreams were, i would reply “world peace [on the road]“
road rage sucks.
i love that sbux put these blurbs on cups.
have you ever listened to this i believe on NPR?
it is easy if you pay attention. It’s not easy not getting upset when bad things happen, but it’s easy to do nice things for other people. I let people in…I wave when people let me in…I tip 20% instead of 15%. You just need to make the effort and it’s really easy. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Listen to that friend that rambles because you would want them to listen to you when you want to ramble. Help out a friend when they need a buck or two because one day, you might need them to help you out one day. “Pay It Forward”…great movie.
