Off The Rails

The instant something offends me I'm off the rails.  Resentment surges through me and nothing is going to satisfy me.  The guy who didn't use his turn signal?  To the guillotine!  We learn how to rate people and systems - and how to berate them.  The easiest thing in the world is to look at someone and say what we would have done had we been in their place.  But I suspect I wouldn't know what to do either until I found myself in the same place going through the same things.
