In addition , the Kids in the back seat experienced a beautiful Life Lesson....
Just imagine those kids , being subjected to the alternate scenarios
* Scenario 1 - Both the parents howling, honking, knashing teeth, mouthing expletives at all ....
** Scenario 2 - One of the parent acting as in scenario 1 and the other trying to prove the partner wrong!!!
*** Scenario 3 - Both the parents meekly accepting the cut off as one of the perils of driving on the roads with no constructive response to offer to the kids.

This piece made me feel very uncomfortable. I am uncertain the wife's actions were wise, and seemed not non-violent to me. Especially that children were in the car watching and experiencing what was being modeled. Second, calling the other driver a villain, also does not seem non-violent. We don't know what we don't know.
Gosh, I would need to take a breath and choose my response carefully with so much and so many lives at stake. With love, always. Liz
