I was in a taxi and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, this black car just cut right in front of us. The taxi driver slammed on his brakes and we skidded, almost hitting the car in front of us. We missed it by just a few inches. After that, the guy in the black car stuck out his head, did a few hand signals, cursed and shouted at the taxi driver.
Do you know what the taxi driver did? He smiled and waved back at the guy.
I figured what an amazing response! How strange. I asked the taxi driver, “Why would you just smile and wave at that guy after he almost ruin your car and send us to the hospital?”
The taxi driver simply said, “Sir, I follow the Law of the Garbage Truck.”
“What is the Law of the Garbage Truck?”
“Very simple. Many people are like garbage trucks. They are full of garbage--anger, hate, envy, frustration, bitterness, disappointment, greed, etc. When their garbage truck fills up, they look for people to pile their garbage on. If you are not careful, people will pile their garbage on you. When someone pours his garbage on your life, do not take it personally. Just wave, wish them well and move on. Do not get involved. You will be happy that you didn’t get involved.”
