Traffic Jam Rage

Metaphorical Narrative

Cars crawl.
Horn blares.
Mind flares: disrespect, injustice, waste.
Chest tightens as if the road itself mocked your existence.

Core Insight

Every driver has cursed the jam. The true enemy isn’t the cars — it’s the meaning attached.

Proof Snapshot: Stress research shows perceived intent fuels road rage more than delay itself. The body spikes not at slowness, but at imagined insult.

Liberation is refusing to grant meaning. It’s just cars, just flow. Presence drives, not rage.

Identity Line: I forbid traffic to define me. Observer keeps the wheel steady.

Saturday Experiment

Next time stuck in traffic, narrate: “Cars. That’s all.”
Notice how the body shifts.

Sunday Reflection

Where else this week did they mistake inconvenience for insult?
What changed when they removed meaning?
What identity grows when presence stays at the wheel?
