Isnt it funny? As human beings we can be so intelligent and yet so ignorant to the obvious. We could build great machines to help us grow and evolve and yet at the same time be completely blind to the fact using your bare hands instead of oven gloves isn't a wise idea. As teenagers we sit there through numerous teachings about sexual education and yet still it bemuses people when they get pregnant after 'just one time'. And that I believe is down to our ignorance. Our selfish idea of life and how it wouldn't happen to us. We all seem to assume that we are somewhat protected from reality and its dangers. But why? I mean we are just flesh and bone, just the same as every other human being. Nothing more and nothing less than anyone else on this planet. And yet for some bizarre reason we cannot comprehend the idea of danger. Our parents and teachers drill it into us although our inate desire for thrills and rebellion is what drives us more than their words of wisdom.
I trusted her, that will be my excuse to my mum as to why I didn't wear my seatbelt that night. Of course I would trust my best friend.
She could drive whereas I couldn't and although she was a bit of a mad driver I never felt fear. I would get in her car and even at speeds of 100mph all I could feel was the wind through my fingers as I carelessly held them out of the window. We were both alike in our enjoyment of life and our belief in fate and whatever is supposed to happen will happen. However shrouded in our ignorance we blindly forgot that bad things can and will happen to good people.
