I am glad to have recently come across the Philo quotation I shared yesterday ("Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle"). I hope I'll remember it today.
Last week I was distracted as I arrived at a traffic light and neglected to put on my left turn signal. The car across the intersection didn't know if I was turning or going straight. I finally realized the problem, put on my signal, and we both turned in opposite directions just a bit later than we would have. A few days later at the same intersection, a similar problem occurred, only this time the car across the way didn't put on his signal until late. If I hadn't remembered my own mistake, I wouldn't have been as patient with the car across the intersection.
