I often wonder how easy our lives have become. With the changing time we have come a long way and we managed to get rid of all the complicated and time-consuming things our grandfathers had faced in their days. Our histories talks about the hardships of our forefathers which if given to us at these days we can do it within no time with the least efforts.
But it's not the only side of the coin. There is another side which seems very ugly and destroying to us. Technologies have taken a considerable impact on our lives. One of the most advanced technologies we all are well adapted is the motor vehicle. Yes our cars and buses and motor bikes which are designed by huge brains to provide us comfort while saving our precious time. But this technology has taken the lead in taking away the young lives. Yes and not only young lives but of any age. If lives are not taken, victims are often left crippled for life completely helpless and pathetic.
There is something we need to analyze here: Is it really the technology that is taking the lives of our beloved people? And sadly we realize it isn't. It is not the technology. The thrill and temptations we have at our young age to experience speeds on the highway can be one killer. Sometimes our complacency blinds us. I wonder if all the people who are driving on the roads think that it is their lives that are in the basket and how careful they have to be with it, perhaps we would hear less of road accidents.
The vehicle has been designed to help us and save our time not to destroy our lives or take away our time on this earth.
P.S This is my random thought I am sharing as lately one of my old classmates lost his blooming life in a car accident. And a month ago a senior of mine at work lost both of his parents in a tragic accident. At my work place too I see so many casualties resulted from reckless driving by the youngsters and it has always been bothering me because we can drive safely and avoid such mishaps if we can think strong mentally. Say NO to drink driving and speeds.
