Don't give your rotten apple to others

There is one saying in Chinese: 己所不欲，勿施於人

It means, if you do not want it, do not give it to others. This idiom has influenced me a lot in my decision making.

Every morning, I need to spend an hour driving to my work place (27km), and believe me, it is a terrible journey... Not to mention endless cars, those drivers are like they need to rush to the hospital to witness their firstborn delivery! Left and right, and then left again... Well, congrats, He just made it 100 meters ahead of me in 20 minutes time!

Okay, that's not my main point. During the drive, I'll need to squeeze into the primary lane from side lane. In this case, suppose the cars at the primary lane should give way to cars from side lane in round robin order, however, some people just don't. I am just thinking, when it is their turn to squeeze into the line, how would they actually think?

'That's my right, round robin rule' or 'Strongs stay up, Weaks go down' or... I don't know.

I felt grateful whenever after I signaled to get into the primary lane, and that guy/lady actually kept a distance for me to make in, it brightened my day. In return, I always did the same, following the rule, keeping a distance so that he/she does not have to be that tense. I do not like people to squeeze me out, so I never do the same. Seeing people waving their gratitude just made my world less rotten.
