"Everyday, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can." ~ Dalai Lama
For this reason I did not back up and kick the cyclist who flipped me the bird on Knight Road yesterday after I had slowed to a crawl behind him for more than a kilometer rather than smear him into paste with the Volvo.
Buddhism is hard.
