Restraint is Often the Best Response

I once was annoyed a car was moving slowly, but when I saw a handicap symbol, I felt badly I had harbored angry feelings. I was grateful I had restrained myself from sounding the horn. While we may make amends for having offended someone, it would be so much better if we could avoid the incident in the first place. This is possible if we delay our reaction. What a peaceful night's sleep we would have if we could retire with the thought There is not one thing I did today that I regret having done. For many, this would eliminate the need for sedatives. ,
