The Law of the Garbage Truck

The Law of the Garbage Truck
One day I hopped into a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were
driving in the right lane when suddenly a car jumped out of a parking
space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks,
... skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the
other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi
driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really
friendly.
So I asked, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car
and sent us to the hospital!" This is when my taxi driver taught me
what I now call "The Law of the Garbage Truck."
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around
full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of
disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump
it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally.
Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their
garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the
street.
The bottom line is that successful people don't let garbage trucks
take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with
regrets, so… Love the people who treat you right. Forgive the ones who
don't. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you
take it!:)
He who is overly attached experiences fear and sorrow, for the root of all grief is attachment. Thus one should discard attachment to be happy.
Love unconditionally, break the bond of these attachments, for we are all just passing by. Ur turn could be next at any point, attachments weigh u down, in picking up ones vibration.
