Raged

Don't worry, i'm not going to roar like a lion. All i intended to write here basically is an incident that you and i will see happen everyday. It's not really a big matter to some people, because they never THINK how dangerous incidents like this could make you end up.

Was driving some days ago where i met this grandad fetching grand-daughter off school, and the grandad park his car across the street. Which means they have to cross the street illegally. So like our usual scene on the street, you see people holding their son/daughters hand, looking damn serious and concentrate, hoping they could cross the street as fast as possible. So i've got a question, everytime when you drag your children across the street like that, how many times do you think you can get away lucky? I'm not cursing anybody here, all i want to do is to point out how dangerous it is to do things like that, and think about what kind of example are you going to set for your children?


Here is an example of what i saw on the street the other day;



See where the grandad and grand-daughter is? They are waiting eagerly to cross the street to reach their car parked opposite. And what disturbed me most is after the grandad cross the street like this,


The grandad crossed the street safely as he wished, with an unbelievable successful BIG smile on his face! Just like he is trying to say " YAY! WE WON! WE WON!" You see where the problem is? Why are you even smiling by crossing the street like that ? Because you got lucky? You saw the cars stopped and you thought you got the perfect chance to slip across the street thinking even the sky is helping you? WAKE UP! You are basically risking your own life as well as the young. And also I guarantee you, no matter how many overhead bridges the government build for safety sake, majority of them will still " POK" on the dangerous way. Believe it or not.

Yes, by going the dangerous way, you can save on time. But, you are directly telling the young ones " This is the correct way to cross the street! Grandad can do it! So can you!" And that is why nothing ever changed! Generation after generation, we thought it's really nothing serious about crossing the street illegally!

Well.....think MASHED TOMATO!!! or anything that's MASHED!!!! Get the picture??
