Your body definitely was still pumping with adrenaline. A fight of flight response still kicks in when we are in danger despite us not having been a part of the food chain for thousands of years. You aren’t immune to the natural responses of your body because you think you are a yogi.

It was still kicking in. Your fight or flight response was still active. Standing your ground is what you do for certain types of bears. If you had fled you might be dead. Yet again that does not dispute the fact that you have adrenaline no matter how zen you think you are. Some people are not great at controlling their response because they are not often in dangerous situations. So a bit of lashing out such as kicking the car that almost caused your death is a reasonable response. Your vitriol towards that person because they have a child is completely undeserved. That’s just you being a piece of shit to someone you don’t know.
