When you act with hostility and aggression toward others, they are likely to respond in a similar manner. When you shout at someone, he is likely to shout back. The reverse holds true if you are caring and cheerful toward others.
Therefore, for purely pragmatic reasons, we should be kind and friendly in dealing with others.
From the Torah perspective, however, this is not merely sound advice. It is an obligation. Even when you think you are minding your own business, people will come into your life and act aggressive. I was sitting in my car minding my own business, when a Pepsi truck came up behind me and blew his air horn three times to get me to move. I acted aggressively back to him and he wanted to have a road rage case with me, and offered to rearrange my face. I could have avoided the whole incident if I had followed the bible's commandment.

Yesterday I sent a piece about high mileage cars available in Europe and not in the US. Today's second piece (below) is about a Chinese high mileage vehicle.
Hear is a piece about another car. A lot of people are surprised that there IS a $70,000 Toyota....
I'll bet this bear needed out when the car alarm went off. Pretty funny - but not for the owner...... There are no scratches on the outside of this car, but the vehicle is totaled. Below is the story and the pics. A man in Waterton, came out to find the inside of his 18 month old Toyota Sequoia trashed. A grizzly bear had somehow got a door open and once inside got trapped when the door shut behind him. Probably by the wind. The Toyota was a platinum edition, all the door panels were ripped off, the headliner torn to pieces, all headrests, the leather seats, the dash shredded. The steering column was twisted sideways. Two of the six airbags went off, the other four the bear ripped to pieces. When the bear ripped off the door panels he also clawed all the wiring harnesses out. You can imagine a trapped grizzly being hit with an airbag in an enclosed space! He must have figured he was in for the fight of his life... and by the looks of this car, he won the fight. Toyota figures every wire he pulled or clawed at resulted in alarm bells, voices or sparks. The head mechanic at Calgary Toyota doubted if they had the expertise to put this vehicle back together, even if they had enough parts to do it. And, to add insult to injury, the bear took a big dump in the back of the SUV (Probably when one of the airbags went off)... and then broke out the rear window. Fish and wildlife officers have inspected the damage and figure it was a 3 year old Griz. >From blood left behind they are doing DNA. The vehicle has been written off by the insurance company. The cost new was over $70,000, and they stopped counting repair costs at $60,000+. So you think you might go bear hunting? Let me know how that goes if you do. | |
