THE RED, YELLOW AND GREEN TRAFFIC LIGHTS

I was waiting for my best friend in front of the beauty shop and at the same time I was observing the flow of the traffic. I was having fun looking at the the various ways how people cross at the pedestrian lane. Some were trying to beat the traffic light by running fast across the lane when it turned green. Some pretended to maintain their poise while doing the catwalk. Some had been very critical to keep on watching the light whether it turned yellow already.

I also observed some people who dared to cross even if the lights were red.An obvious violation of the traffic rules that led some drivers to shout at them.

Traffic lights got three colors that signify the appropriate action to keep the flow of the traffic systematic. However, not all people learn the importance of each light's color in connection to safety and system.

There are those who keep on going even if the light is red.The possible excuse is, they are trying to cope with something and stopping when the light turns red is just a waste of time.

There are also those who are very critical in observing the yellow light. Yellow which maybe equated with being on guard for any moment a you got to be moving in order to cross the lane.

There are those who are patient enough to know that the green light means everyone could move to cross the lane and off they go with the flow.

In life, there are times that the red light is not even recognized. No time to stop. Whether red, green or yellow the movement continues. When the day ends stress, fatigue and disappointment are the sure merits of the too busy day.

Sometimes, the yellow light is always up for others.They tend to be very watchful that trusting each other seems to be very difficult. Suspicions abound, again the glorification of stress and fatigue would always beat the happy dispositions in life.

We are all pedestrians in this crazy world.As pedestrians we must observe the three colors of the traffic lights.Red will always mean stop, so why not take a break?Yellow means be cautious and be prepared, so why not take it just before every step? Green means move, so why not take after knowing that its now time to go?

There is a certain time for every light. Same as there is always a right time for everything. Rest assured that the time allotment is always exact for us to cross the lane.

Trust the lights. Simply because they were designed perfectly by Someone who exactly knew our time.

Somewhere outhere...

We have our most effective Traffic Enforcer who mans our lights.

A BLESSED TRINITY SUNDAY TO EACH AND EVERYONE.

    To those who seem not to care, let it be a reminder that doing so will truly mess up their lives...Rules are there for a reason. I know that Jaywalkers cross the street and don't care whatever color there is on the traffic light...They're not even crossing on the designated pedestrian lanes..
We got plenty of them here...If you bump at them, the Christian obligation will lead you to pay bigger hospital bills.

    Likened to coping real in real life...Those who do not STOP during RED light, wear themselves out, and may risk early "retirement" from everything including life, itself...So, beware!

    Quoting eb1209:
    Those who hesitate to either STOP or GO, YELLOW light is a warning kinda...It only reminds us to use our better judgement. We cannot put our lives on HOLD, either we make decisions immediately without delay...Staying in between leaving or staying is not good. If you decide to stay, then by all means, slowly STOP on a yellow light. And if you think, it is critical to GO, then, by all means, "hurry up" and leave, or else, RED LIGHT is just few seconds behind the yellow.
Words from an expert driver, who can go against this?

hehehehehe..

This is a very good reiteration of the exact point of this post..

Coming from an authority in the school of life...This is authentic.

Love this one sis.

Maybe it will do something with the cultural trend which goes behind the what so called modernization.

Just have fun and enjoy while being cautious.
