Traffic Sense

The one thing that bugs everyone alike , no matter what age they may be , is waiting in a traffic jam. I have always been amazed seeing how impatient and insensitive we become to the other people on the road once we get behind the wheels. I guess one of the major frustrations of the life in a metro is due to this impatience and insensitivity.

How often do we pull over to allow a pedestrian to cross the road ??
or, How often do we smile when a fellow vehicle honks and cuts through the space to rush ??

Never.. right ??

Its not the fast paced hectic life or, congestion on the road that is to be blamed for these situations.. it is more due to our behavioural oblivion.

Its not something which can be changed overnight. But yes, its something which is definitely worth an effort.

Time is not a commodity that needs to be exploited at every moment to make sure that we snatch every bit of it for some investments or, gains.Its more about moments to live and treasure.Its worth slowing down a bit to live what you have and observe how sometimes going slow makes you reach your destination much faster.

So next time when we get stuck in a traffic jam , lets try to give the fellow person a chance to pass if its his lane to move. And believe me his smile would be a better thing to receive for that than few seconds of your saved time in the bargain.
