We stay enraged most of the time resulting in clouding

Details

Driving is a stressful activity.

A gruelling commute to work everyday can have a huge negative impact on

your wellbeing and raise your stress hormones long before you get to the

office. Noise, exhaust fumes and slow-motion frustration daily has increased road

rage drastically.

Many psychologists even classify it as a mental disorder.

Fold two hands together

And express a dash of sorrow

Marinate it overnight

And work on it tomorrow.Chop one grudge in tiny pieces

Add several cups of love

Dredge with a large sized smile

Mix with the ingredients above.

Dissolve the hate within you,

By doing a good deed

Cut in and help your friend

If he should be in need.

Stir in laughter, love and

kindness

From the heart it has to come,

Toss with genuine forgiveness

And give your neighbour some.The amount of people served

Will depend on you,

It can serve the whole wide

world,

If you really want it to.
