The self-centered driver has the negative attitude. Don’t let someone else’s poor behavior choices become contagious."

"If there were past misdeeds, I do not believe we should nag or repeat them, never mind throw them in someone’s face. If they sincerely apologized and we genuinely forgave them, we must move on.
