Kassi/loxion

I just moved to Melville and have not even being greeted or greeted someone(cause the situation is so hard to allow such, il continue to try though), people are so conservative, its so different. My hometown is Kuruman, and there a home is not just the place where one puts his head, but the immediate people my neighbors and so forth. It was once said along these lines : "...a child is raised by a society...". Clearly we have moved away from such, i used to hear people complain about this, but its only hitting me now. It feels so weired where i stay, i dont look up to comming back to where i stay when i am from somewhere. I cannot really call it a home. Kuruman(kassi) reamains my home!!!. The yards are high walls, kinda like mind ur own bussiness. Fellow South Africans, if we still talk of Ubuntu and it does not begin at home, What a desception we are in!!!!.

Accidents

Today morning i was allowed to see an accident occur with my naked eyes, from its inception until the cars were stationary. I saw the guy who was at fault decide to make a uturn, it was as if he had forgotten something, so i would think that when he made the uturn his mind was on whatever he had forgottern, however to add more complexity to his situation, there was a bit of a curve behind him, so even when he looked at the side mirror it was not enough to make a good judgement. One car came behind when he was just in the middle of his lane, it was a lady with two kids in the car. She smashed into the other car making a uturn.

In this odeal i realised that it is really those seconds, that minute decision that really counts. Before the accident the guy at fault probably thought there would be a successful uturn, however, he was wrong. His not well informed decision caused him much and nearlly a fatal situation. Let us be careful of those moments, those minute moments for a small decision might not be small after all. I think, we need to always be where we are, if i am in a kichen let my mind as well be in the kichen, if i am eating let my mind as well be with the food. Another problem i saw was our reaction time or reaction attitude. The lady continued to step on her accelerator she never braked. I think this happened because the accident occured at the moment where she was about to change her gear, so it was already registered in her mind that she had to step on the accelerator afterwards. She could not change this protocol in her mind, it was fixed irrespective of the situation. The quetion is how do we optimise reaction time and reaction attitude ? for i believe the accident could have been avoided had her reaction time and attitude been correct. Anyway she is a woman, and i think the first thing that came to her mind were her children, and this could delay reaction time, and the fact that she is human, we tend to think these things will never happen to us, so she was overwhelmed with dibelieve at what was happening. For such situations one wishes that they were in a dream.
