I agree as well, I wanted to share something from a book I have read that I really try and use in my daily life. The book is titled "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff... and its all small stuff
Imagine that Everyone is Enlightened Except you.
This Strategy gives you a chance to practice something that is probable completely unacceptable to you. However, if you give it a try you might find that its one of the most helpful exercises in self improvement.
As the title suggests, the idea is to imagine that everyone you know and everyone you meet is perfectly enlightened. That is everyone except you! The people you meet are all here to teach you something. Perhaps the obnoxious driver or the disrespectful teenager is here to teach you about patience, the punk rocker might be here to teach you to be less judgemental.
Your job is to try and determine what the people in your life are trying to teach you. You'll find that if you do this, you'll be far less annoyed, bothered and frustrated by the actions and imperfections of other people. You can actually get yourself in the habit of approaching life in this manner and if you do you'll be glad you did. Often once you discover what someone is trying to teach you it's easy to let go of your frustration. For Example suppose your in the post office and the postal clerk appears to be intentionally moving slowly. Rather than feeling frustratedm ask yourself the question " What is he trying to teach me?" Maybe you need to learn about compasion. How hard it would be to have a job that you dont like. Or Perhaps you could learn a little more about being patient. Standing in line is an excellant oppertunity to break your habit of feeling impatient.
You may be surprised at how fun and easy this is. All you're really doing is changing your perception from why are they doing this to What are they trying to teach me? Take a look around at all the enlightened People.
Just my opinion take it or leave it. Although it does make a differance in my life and the patients I have for those around me.
