People should use the time in the car to meditate. It's easy and the perfect way to control your stress andd impatience. There are great cds you can pop in and go zen like.

Thank god I divorced mine. He couldn't drive 5 miles without losing it, people going toi slow or fast, not respecting him. After 10 years i realized it's all him, he's the problem. I can breathe so much easier now but whenever i see guys like that in their cars it brings me back Confession: I once did this, - submitted by Anonymous on 07/21/2007
Confession: I once did this, I crack my hand against the steering wheel and I fractured it in theree places. Since then I've meditated. It helps but mostly it's my fear of expalaining to people again what a fool I was! Why can't people just just - submitted by yogateacher on 07/21/2007
Why can't people just just slow down, stop rushing constantly? We can if we choose. All the excuses are bs, just do it. If you want to relax be less stressed than commit and you'll be amazed how much better you'll feelk. ohm...................ohm - submitted by Anonymous on 07/22/2007

Sure, we don't want to run over kids. However, sometimes we want to hit the crossing guards who hold us while little Jimmy or Suzie is still half a block from the crossing. We mostly Like kids. We are on our way to work so we can pay for their clothes, food, medical care, education, vactaions, etc. etc. They are on their way to school so they can become like us. What they may need to learn is that just like the cars must stop so they can cross the street, they must wait until the cars go by before they can cross. It is about time that adults reclaimed the world. Kids need to learn that their wants and desires are not the controlling force in the universe. The next step might be to either teach them to behave in restaurants, on airplanes, and at the movies, or preferably to leave them at home. oh Yes to Give Us A Break - submitted by Anonymous on 09/16/2008
