Nearing my house, I had THE realization of all realizations. It happened once I had closed my "Road Sense" Book (because, yes, I'm 16 now and therefore, I am going through the tedious reading of this senseless book...which is ironic because it is actually a book of logic. Really OBVIOUS logic.) My realization was that we're constantly kept away from "accidents" and moreover, events that are "accident-prone." Think about this for a second.
What do you think this is teaching people?! Seriously. In learning they MUST stay away from "physical" accidents (such as collisions), wouldn't they take precautions emotionally as well?
You're probably thinking that, that isn't such an awful thing...nothing to argue with.
However, did you consider just how PROFUSELY they would take these precations?
Or rather, how they could become obsessed with being too careful?
They would all be so unsure of how to commit to a relationship after one set back...after one argument. They would be frightened to go THROUGH the collision and wouldn't take responsibility and therefore, in doing so, they would run away.
Collisions are something to GET THROUGH...something YOU HAVE TO FIX...and not something to just go around. And because they would go around this mess...they'd be accustomed to being so insensitive...and wouldn't be able to care anymore.
Artificially speaking, they live in this mind-set that in "car-crashes" they can unbuckle their seatbelts, get out of the car...and run. To the rest of the sane world, they are seen as ridiculous & embody the character of caitiffs. They're species suffers for up to years from little bursts of oppression when others bring up the "past car-accident." They are fully aware of the past...ultimately by avoiding the past. And meanwhile the whole world is understandably peeling away the insignificant set-backs...letting life take its proper course.
Forward.
To these insane people...the accident tucked away in the back of their craniums...slowly consumes them...causing an excrutiatingly painful hole.
Now, do you realize going around is acually more difficult and more time-consuming than going through? This tendency also produces an abundance of broken hearts. Not just to the person going around...but more specifically and especially to the other car involved in the accident.
While they're off being their rambunctious selves...the victim is being tortured--simply waiting for a hand to take them to a hospital until they're finally healed.
Now, do you see the hidden message to these "road-sense" books?
"Don't be a stupid driver..." has a completely different meaning to me now.
Sure, the government won't congratulate you for being under-cautious...(they'd probably reprimand you.) Just trust me...when it comes to "emotional car crashes" it's better to go THROUGH.
4 steps. Pg.115...but you already knew.
