Road Rage and the Life

Road rage，as the phrase itself is telling, conveys the meaning to drive with anger. The phrase has been collected into the vocabulary of Oxford Dictionary, describing the angry state which is caused by the pressures and setbacks when driving through a traffic jam.Persons who are suffering from road rage usually have the pulse to be aggressive, and sometimes the innocent passengers can be even harmed.

In the modern society, the car has been a kind of common transportation tools, so it is no wonder that road rage has been a common psychological disease throughout the world.

According to the latest data released by a researching center, there are about 5% to 7%, namely, 1,600 million drivers who have the symptoms of being road ragers in the United States. This research was done after interviewing 9,282 American adults during the period 2001 to 2003. This research also shows that the bus drivers and the taxi drivers are more likely to have this kind of  disease, the rate of which is up to 30%.

In 2007, a tragedy happening in Moscow caused the attention of the world: a taxi driver shot three passers-by to death, just because that the driver was badly annoyed at the low speed of them when walking through the street. Since then, the road rage became an official phrase in media as well as in these language teaching materials.

In most cases, the road ragers may have the following five immature inner activities when they are driving:

1. Even if there is enough time and no need to hurry up, the road ragers will still set a expected and specific time to reach the destination.

2. The road ragers are fond of overtaking other cars, and they will be easily affected in the driving process.

3.The road ragers don't want others to overtake themselves. What is more, they will try every means to stop others from overtaking them.

4. If the drivers nearby have done something improper, the road ragers will show their unsatisfied and angry look directly on their faces, even if these conductions have nothing to do with their driving.

5. Feeling that they have been insulted, the road ragers will have the urge to do the revenges, and it is often hard to control.

The road rage thing actually conveys some sort of philosophy in our daily life. We are often exhausted by these pressures and hardships from our jobs or from these complicated social relationships. Sometimes life is so difficult that we feel we can not bear them anymore.

However, life keeps on going and what we should do is to adjust ourselves to the changeable situations, instead of dealing with them negatively or just running away from them. We should learn to be calm and be considerate, taking others'situation into account.

For instance, listening to the music with your Bluetooth stereo headset in your own place is a good way to calm down.It will take you to a world in which everything seems to be simple and easy. Then you will find that life is still generous to us, for we still have the ability to enjoy the beautiful things in this lovely world. Nothing will be our obstacles on the way forward.
