One Idiot Can Spoil a Day
Earlier this week, I cycled from work into Falkirk town centre. After the journey, I was asked how the trip went and my first reaction was that it was horrible. But then I caught myself.
Most of the trip went fine. It was just one particular part that spoilt it. One driver was determined to overtake me, did so within a couple of meters of a junction, then turned left across my path.
It was a scary moment, and gave me a fright. I went on imagining that every other vehicle was a similar threat. I wanted to rant about the situation.
But ultimately I realised that it was just one Idiot. If I ignore that incident, the rest of the trip was uneventful. There is no point in getting upset over the actions of someone else.
