You do realize I hope, that you do not know everything, right? I was driving home from the I- Ching training in Toronto yesterday when someone changed lanes right in front of me. Fortunately I had time to react to avoid a collision. The driver of the car immediately cut across a couple of more lanes just in time to make it onto the exit ramp.

In reflecting after this event, I thought about the number of people who would have reacted in a strong negative way to such a situation. For me in that moment, I was grateful for safe travel, but also thought about the times when I was blocked by traffic and needing to get to an exit ramp quickly. Perhaps something was going on in that moment that caused this person to need to make a last minute exit from the highway.

Since you do not know everything, do not be too quick to judge someone for their actions. You do not want to be in a place where you become the one who experiences such judgment, when they have no idea what you are going through. Be quick to forgive others as God is willing to quickly forgive you.

Remember, what we sow will be reaped in our life. So take the opportunity to consider your reactions before you take action and do what will not only benefit others but also yourself.
