“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.”

We have jackasses in politics who could learn from the jackass on the street that a smile or apology can work wonders.

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.
