That grocery cart thing was just an example I used in a post to MB on her previous thread yesterday. It would probably make more sense to catch up there first. And yes, I did have that movie image in my head when I wrote it.
MB, I was having difficulty with my mouse thing on my laptop last night so I had to settle for posting on your old thread.
Hope you're having a better day today.

I think it's a great analogy for life. (I may not be reading it as you intended it but it works for me)
I can decide what I carry away from the situation.
If someone rams me purposefully, and I've tested my assumption about that, I can say "I'm angry, you damaged my car. How will you make this right?" Their ability, or inability, to be responsible can inform what kind of boundaries are necessary with that person in the future.
For the accidental bumping we should also respect ourselves and our feelings. "I understand this was an accident. I'm angry, you damaged my car. How will you make this right?"
Change car damage to any kind of damage (lie, cheat, etc), the result can be the same.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
