Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The use of "me" and "I" suggests a distinction between the impulsive, emotional part of oneself (the "I") and the more thoughtful, rational part (the "me"). Refraining from yelling at someone who cut you off in traffic requires controlling impulsive behavior and relying on more rational decision-making, which can be seen as a victory for the "me" over the "I."
