“76th story”
First Published: Jan.31.2019
A university Professor was sharing an old memory with his class.
He said: “I was at a red light deep in my thoughts when I heard a long constant horn along with a sharp shout; ‘Hey foal-donkey, when are you going to move?’
The street was quiet with no traffic. At the next red light, my car was side by side with the angry driver, and the windows were down.
I turned my head, smiled and said: “Did you know Foal is a young donkey. You should have called me Jackass or Jack-Donkey. If I’m a donkey, you must be Solomon since you can talk to animals. I was deep into my thoughts sorry about that.”
The angry driver smiled back and said: “I am sorry too, there was no need to act the way I acted.”
I pointed to him to park at the side of the street.
I had a half-eaten box of chocolate. When we parked, I walked out of the car with the ripped box of chocolate and offered him some. We talked a little and exchanged phone numbers and we’ve been best friends ever since.
There was a fight about to start but it ended with friendship. Millions of people died in wars that could have easily been prevented with an apology or a smile. If someone can make you angry that person has power over you. Calm your anger with kindness, smiles, and forgiveness. Solve misunderstandings by putting an effort to understand the circumstances.”

Thank dear.<3
We have jackasses in politics who could learn from the jackass on the street that a smile or apology can work wonders.
LOL, thanks sweetheart.<3

Right back at you! 🙏💜🤗😘
It’s true that you will do a lot with good word and kindness. We fall into anger and irritation easily. A lot depends on how we react to someone’s unpleasant attention. You are kind and it disarms him.
Thanks sweetheart for always inspiring me with your beautiful comments.<3

Yes, people that make one angry have power over one… I try very hard to remember that always, but sometimes it is very, very hard…
Lol, I know.❤️❤️❤️

Better a donkey or jack-donkey than to be a complete ass!
😂😂😂😂
May we at long last learn to live by this sentiment, Laleh. <3
Amen 🙏 thanks 💕
A beautiful wise story about the strength and power of understanding, apologizing and withdrawing anger in time. It is often missing in our marital and family relationships. I wish everyone the wisdom of life.
You explained it beautifully, thanks sweetheart.🌺
