Interesting story.
A post I have been meaning to write for a few weeks is how in society today we are more likely to make "mountains out of molehills". I think that it is because we are problem solvers by nature, but are distracted from solving the problems that matter, instead making the small challenges much larger in order to get that "satisfaction" and "meaning" in our life.

I've always heard about first world problems. And in fact, that's often the case. We try to make things that are of absolutely no importance seem like an insult to our way of life. In traffic, all it takes is for someone to cut us off, and suddenly we're honking our horn and maybe even driving recklessly. If we look closely, the situation that had already passed is escalated to a completely irrational level. And from one moment to the next, if we are faced with someone who is also not having a good day, a traffic situation that could even be ignored... gives rise to a situation that may even be dangerous to some degree. Modern times are lived with little intensity in the necessary depth, and are only taken to extremes in the most trivial and futile situations.
I can't wait for your post on this topic. I'll try to stay tuned.
