Ignorance or stupidity?

That day, I saw a father transporting his toddler in the front carrier basket of a motorcycle without a helmet, while he himself wore one. I wondered if he wore it due to enforcement by lawmakers or if his tiny 5-pound brain thought he needed it.

We all wish luck will always be on her side. The little girl is not only exposed to danger but also subjected to an ignorant attitude passed down to her like pedigree.

Most of the time, we think "it's okay" when nothing happens, right?

Wrong! "Convenient" is sometimes just another way to spell "risk."

Has our overly simplified societal culture blinded us, or have we simply stopped thinking? (Maybe we've forgotten that we can think at all.)

To me, it feels like living in an "Artificial Intelligent" environment where we tempt fate by ignoring the dangers around us.

Look around us, from our society to our very own households. Have we reflected enough on the adjustments needed to adapt to modern civilization?

Here are some thoughts to ponder: Who makes the decisions...

  1. About the toxic packaging we use?
  2. When voting for less than "noble" politicians?
  3. About following a flawed system?
  4. When wasting our time on meaningless pursuits?
  5. About conforming to the wrong crowd?

This list could go on indefinitely...
