How To Save A Life

I am now going to tell you how to save the most important life of all: Your own.

Now, as much as I dig the idea of other people living peacefully to a ripe old age, that admiration is tempered somewhat by the fact that I too live out my years in a similar fashion.

Sometime, watch your loved one, or perhaps a loved-one-to-be, the next time you’re both walking through a crowd. Watch how they navigate, make their way from point to point. Do they cut people off? Do they move remarkably slow despite the fact that everyone around them is moving at a brisk clip?

Do they make directional changes seeming at random? On the way somewhere, again navigating a through a crowd, do they just stop, blissfully unaware that there is probably someone directly behind them not expecting them to do so?

Now visualize the that scenario at the wheel of a car.

If the one your care for does any these things listed in the paragraph prior on a consistent basis, DO NOT GET IN A CAR WITH THEM AT THE WHEEL because they have already proven that they have not mastered the idea behind walking amongst groups of people, never mind propelling 3000 pounds of steel, plastic and glass through rush hour traffic.

You’re welcome.
