A few days ago, a man shouted at me in a grocery store for not being mindful of my surroundings. I might have blocked him with my cart in the alcohol aisle.

I was angry at that moment. A simple gesture could have informed me of my distraction! Who can stay focused in the alcohol aisle?

It came to me much later that it was not about me. I remembered seeing the man a few more times at the store, shouting at others.

I wish I had the wisdom and courage to stop and ask him if he was okay.

Yes, that's happens to me same or different scenario. When something like that happens I wish I could remember it is the other person misery trying to unload on other people. Hopefully next time I can remember and don't react :)
