i am going to continue my blogging at the weirdest time [in the midst of trial exams] for the weirdest reason [which you'll find out soon] because i feel i need to continue writing to keep myself happy.
Okay. Imagine yourself happily driving in a car at night, when you come to an intersection with no lights on and you decide to cross. You're already past when this fast car comes out of nowhere, slamming into back of your car sideways [like what happened in Nickelback's "Someday" mv only not as bad]
Perhaps it was your fault. Or maybe his. Or hers. Or whoevers.
But does he stop? No. He slows down to see what happened [typical M'sian KPC] then drives off.
Never mind that the left back light is lying on the road in 2791 pieces. Never mind that the bumper in not attached to the car anymore. Never mind that people could be injured and need help.
How would you know if it were a poor, innocent man inside the car who was driving home after a long day's work to his wife and 7 children? Or perhaps a young girl, who just got her driving licence, who has no idea what to do in an accident and will be screamed at by her abusive parents?
We don't know. And yet, we don't stop.
You know, I would be even angrier if it were my own car that was hit. I just saw this incident near my house - I don't even know the guy, but I feel angry all the same.
Just some weeks/months ago, my friend Ying Yi had an accident - this gigantic lorry or cement-mixer thingymajig nearly slammed her into the curb and caused a giant depression on her left car door. And what did the lorry driver do? Yes, folks, that's right. He drove off.
You know, some day these people have to take responsibility for what they've done. Perhaps you may say I'm being far-fetched - but these things happen every day. What if it happens to you?
Would you live with the guilt? Or are you that heartless?
[okay i feel a lot better. wheee. don't hit and run. take responsibility for your actions.]
