Yesterday I went out for breakfast together with my grandma. While we were waiting for the traffic light, the siren from an ambulance from far back catched our attention. In a blink of time, the ambulance reach to the back of the queue. With tacit understanding, every vehicles moved their cars to aside to let the ambulance moved on, eventhough they were in queue and there were limited space to move. While my car was in another lane from moving, the phenomenon touched my heart.
Often, in today's hectic lives, what capture human's soul are wealth, fame and status. They would head to what they want regardless of the consequences. Families, friends and health are sacrificed; pride, corruption and flatter are their tools.
Bible said : Set your mind on things above, not things on the earth (Colossians 3:2) Deplorably, what most people do today are in contravention with the verse. If only more people are willing to slow down their pace of lives, looking at the great creations of God, pondering about the purposes of lives, the meaning of eternity; will there be less criminality?
I do hope that yesterday, I was not the only one be moved by the scene. At least, that means there still a little sensation among the nonchalances.
