In this episode, I share observations on the commendable driving etiquette in Tahiti, where drivers exhibit a strong culture of consideration and selflessness by routinely allowing others to merge onto main roads, assisting with parking, and stopping for pedestrians. This behavior starkly contrasts with the aggressive and self-centered nature of road rage, which has been on the rise. The text delves into the philosophical roots of the Tahitian driving mindset, likening it to living by the Golden Rule and underscoring the importance of empathy, healthy relationships, and ethical responses to others. Statistics reveal the growing problem of road rage, but the Tahitian example serves as an inspiring alternative that the speaker wishes to emulate, highlighting the societal benefits of prioritizing the collective well-being over individual frustrations on the road.

Want know more about the music on this podcast? We are blessed to have M. Diego Gonzalez as a regular contributor of songs he has arranged, performed, and recorded especially for this podcast. My wife and I became acquainted with Diego when he was serving a as missionary in the Puerto Rico San Juan Mission.
