Choose love, not hate

There may be certain situations in your life that the dominant impulse is for you to react or respond angrily, a bad habit that may have formed over many years. An example would be, always losing your temper when on the road with other drivers. This must be so common that people have coined the term, "road rage". The stoic thinker is aware that hate is not going to help the other driver, much less you. Hate is a negative emotion creating damaging physiological effects on your mind and body. Very unproductive and why experience that when you can avoid it? Alternatively, almost every situation is improved by choosing love, empathy and understanding.
