Remember how, as a kid, you were taught to look both ways before crossing the road?
The instruction was pretty simple and very logical.
Look to your left and then to your right. If it was clear, you could cross. If not, stay on your side of the road and wait until it was safe.
So why do we, as adults, refuse to apply this simple rule to our lives? Why do we cross without pause, blindly hoping we sidestep the inevitable wreck that may just happen because we refused to look? Why do we insist on walking into the path of speeding bullet trains?
Why do we ignore the figurative traffic signs staring us in the face???
If it's clear, walk. If it's not, stay put. Wait until it's safe, and then cross.
Maybe we all secretly dream of adorning the asphalt as non-furry roadkill.
How else does one explain it?
