Connection

 People can drive drunk and they can drive sober.  The choice involves a feeling of connection.  The sober person sees a red light and stops.  They feel a connection with the person on the street who sees the “Walk” sign is begins to cross the street.  The drunk sees no connection with a person, but only a connection to get that next drink or get to that next place so that they can “fix” their life.  If I am stressed and get behind the wheel, I remind myself first that I am not the only person trying to get somewhere to do something.  It keeps me connected.  I am sure the walker and other drivers are better off for this brief pause.
