watched tv this evening for some news, then again heard more of fatal traffic accidents. it was again the bus-falling-to-a-cliff accident. twentysomething passengers died, among them are children.
it's really devastating how traffic accidents have actually become a pretty common news in our daily news programs. be it a midnight hit-and-run, or the fatal big-carriage-crash, everyday they are adding up numbers into the death-caused-by-traffic-accidents statistic.
the numbers are prodigious, yet we still jump on our wheels each day without alert. supposedly ignore the numbers and the statistics, failing to see how we are exposed to numerous fatal risks of crashing everytime we're behind the steers. one milisecond of phoning or texting may lead to days getting hospitalized. if we've been safe all these time it doesn't mean we're immune to the risks - we've just been lucky and there's no guarantee we will always be.
these ignorant people, i am not excluded. i have this tendency of looking at the deaths with a distant grief -  failing to familiarize myself to such deadly threats. i'll just tell myself that death just sounds unlikely, that it may happen to anyone but me. true, such an arrogant i am. and, perhaps, you are.
i know once in a while it's a nice feeling to have a thrill. but first and foremost is of course knowing when to do the braking and when to stop the texting. slowing it down won't kill, right?
