Gratitude

I was struck with gratitude yesterday that I no longer lie to, attempt to control or manipulate other people.  I was reminded of this when I went to pick up my car after having some routine service.  There was a dispute going on between another customer and the mechanic.  That customer was exhibiting very loud self-righteous anger and using the same exact techniques I used to use in order to force his will on the mechanic.  There, but for the grace of God, go I.  I hope he is not feeling as hurt and angry as I did and I hope he finds a solution.
