I hate the traffic and rush hours in jakarta, no doubts!! Hate the fact that metrominis and motor cycles rules the road and car owners got not rights to complain. Hate the fact that traffic polices just wave their hands like a welcoming doll but do nothing in real. hate the fact that these polices choose nice cars, and most often a lone female driver, to catch and get bribes from.. Hate everything about the roads of Jakarta! Had enough of it!!!
But as wise people say, u learn something from everything u encounter... and so did i in the traffic i hate.
When a car cuts my way i get annoyed and angry and i start cursing and sometimes flip him off. But then at another occasion when i'm in a hurry to reach some place, i do the same thing. I cut in front of a car that's driving slowly. So then i realize... i'm not much different than those other cars, nor am i better. I do the same thing, but somehow i expect others don't do that to me. How is that fair?
We tend to not realize our own behavior but we are always trying to change others. We always expect to be treated better when we ourselves perhaps have hurt of disrespect others, whether intentionally or not. That is perhaps the most selfish behavior of humans.
Y try to change others when we can't modify our own behavior. Why judge when we do the same thing. Why expect others to be on our level of understanding when we don't make an effort to be at theirs?
live and let live. Forgive and smile... Life's too beautiful to make a fuss about small things :)
