I learned a new word last week and think it applies (though not sure if it's a *real* word)...sonder. Sonder is" the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness... "
It's like when you space out at the light it's because you were a little sleepy and listening to an interview on the radio and it took you back to a special time in your life and you were trying to remember a fuzzy detail and.... HONK! Meanwhile the guy who you honked at earlier was just a frickin idiot. I've been "sondering" on my rides and trips to the store and find it an interesting thought exercise. I know we're not all random strangers here but I think we all could use a little sonder walk now and then. I personally find I still keep encountering idiots on the road, but now I at least think there must be a myriad of reasons why they became idiots.
