let buses merge

this morning after meditation i was in a hurry to get to work. I was trying to make a stop light when a large articulated bus to my right put its signal light on to merge unto my lane. “no way” I thought, but I thought again, why not? So I let the bus merge, and noticed I was afraid the person behind me would be mad at me or, worse yet, think I was dumb for doing so. Talk about silly pride! “I’m allowing a bus full of people less selfish than the rest of us car drivers and I’m a ashamed?” I felt a bit joy as I saw the bus take off in front of me.
