I can't control the other person's behavior, but I can control my response. Their actions may be rude or unacceptable, but I still want my response to be measured and thoughtful. Even if they aren't doing what is right, I still want to make sure I'm doing what is right.
I was in Tokyo recently on a business trip.
I accidentally left my brand new MacBook on a park bench in Tokyo. I realized it 3 hours later.
I sprinted back, panic mode fully engaged, assuming it was gone forever.
It wasn't there.
I asked a nearby shopkeeper. He pointed to the bench.
Someone had placed my laptop inside a plastic grocery bag and taped it to the bench so it wouldn't get wet in the drizzle.
They didn't take it. They protected it.
Culture is what you do when no one is watching.
What do you think would happen in your country if the same thing happened?
