No sirens, no lights, just horsepower

Audio (MP3): 20180112 - No sirens, no lights, just horsepower

Outer Rim FRMBOY license plate

When I was driving to work this morning a sheriff’s car was behind me in the other lane. As we approached the intersection on Randall and 64 the stoplight turned yellow. I slowed down and stopped because I’m sure the sheriff had his eye on me. And of course my license plates are expired.

So then the sheriff gunned his car and blew through the red light. No sirens, no lights, just horsepower. Whether or not he was within his law enforcement privileges to do such isn’t important to what I’m writing here.

Well said. And it’s possible that sheriff got a call to a nearby spot that called for no lights/no sirens.

Exactly. I can make assumptions and assume I know what’s going on but in reality most of the time I have no clue as to what people are doing or why.

I appreciate this particular post on many levels.

There are good people all around, you simply need to seek them out - and be a decent (humble) person in doing so. Generalizations are the antithesis of progress.

Based on your other posts, I notice that self-reflection, witty humor and eloquent writing seem to some of your strong points.

Best of luck on your journey that is life! Keep at it!

Thank you very much! I think there’s a lot to be said for being the change you want to see.

What I’ve found interesting with the comments and likes is that only women have made them. So double plus plus for the ladies. 😊

I think it’s easy for us (humans) to lump people into a group to justify our hate. I think what you realized is, the initial thought (when we hate), is not even a truth. It’s just us hating. Finding the truth is what matters. Let’s help each other to not have “knee jerk” reactions and go around hating. Let’s do what you are doing. We have the power to LOVE. It takes patience, understanding, kindness, forgiveness, giving, caring, educating, wisdom. Thanks for the honesty in this post. The truth shall set you free.

Knee-jerk reactions always get me into trouble. 😊
