Anger Kills

On our kitchen wall, Richard posted a saying (do not remember from whom) to remind himself how to act in negative situations:

Between stimulus and response there is a space.

In that space lie our freedom and power to choose our response.

In those choices lie our growth and our happiness.

I say that in that space, one should time travel to the future, something like 10 years. If you can laugh at the stimulus of this moment 10 years from now, you will choose your response more wisely.

One of today’s CBC news (Montreal road rage victim dies) is a great example of some people who did not apply the above wisdom and it cost one human life.
