Thanks for your suggestion. Your reply demonstrates a lot of time,
consideration, and kindness.

I have done that, but the sadness snowballs and I become depressed.
So, to snap myself out of the depression I revert to getting angry
at them. It seems more active and energetic. Laughter seems to
work best. I can feel their confussion at my reaction. It seems to
make them think. You do have a point however. While I'm laughing
to avoid getting mad, I should retain a certain amount of empathy
for their condition, the suffering that caused their hostile driving
habits.

See? When you get sad it just precipitates a veritable avalanche of
sad thought about the world and the human condition.

No, of course not. It does in fact cheer me up when I see other
drivers let people cut in from a gas station, or other courteous
behavior. It's contageous too. I stopped to let someone cut in
from a side street, and they did the same for someone else a few
blocks up.
Thanks for your thoughts on the matter.
Peace and Love,
Ken
