if the whole world was buddhist, we'd all be really happy, and work as a greater whole, not as individuals.
There's a great story in a book by Charlotte Joko Beck about Empty Boats.
If you are rowing a boat across a lake in the fog, and another boat hits your boat, you turn at curse at the person at the helm/oars, and you keep cursing at them until they are very sorry. But, imagine the boat that hits yours is an empty boat drifting in the wind, who do you shout at?
We have to treat all encounters that don't suit "us" as an empty boat.
