Pragmatism at it's best!

The world has its version of the Golden Rule. You know, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." As in Matthew 7:12, Mark 12:31, and Luke 6:31.

Well, I saw this rule in practice today, and it renewed my belief in people's genuine concern for the well being of others!

Um...yeah.

As I was driving northbound along Route 235 to work I watched a patrol car on the southbound road turn around and back into a side street to lie in wait for his prey. Immediately I had this instinct to flash my headlights at the oncoming cars to warn them of their potential fate so they wouldn't get nabbed this early in the morning. But then I decided against it, because I felt it would be cheating.

Just subsequent to this thought I noticed a woman in the vehicle directly behind me start to flash her lights. I mean she flashed every single car for at least the next mile! Part of me was like, "Oh that's so nice. I'd be grateful if I were driving south. There ought to be more citizens like that dear, sweet lady, who look out for their fellow-speeder!"

Because that's what I'd want somebody to do for me.

And then I hated her for making me feel icky, and reset the cruise control.
