Risk not worth taking!


I was at the fence of our compound watching bird movements. During that half an hour 12 two wheelers passed by on the road below. Only two of them had a helmet on. The majority seemed to undervalue the risk they invite on themselves.  The current traffic rule makes it compulsory for the rider and the pillion to wear helmets.

The worst defiance of public law I recently came across is President Donald Trump's behaviour of publicly denouncing the election result of Joe Biden as the new president. The Trump tantrum led to an insurrection in the Capitol building, killing five people and threatening many law makers in the building! Today president Trump leaves his presidency as one who disgraced presidency and violated the constitutional obligations. 

Why should an ordinary citizen follow the rule of law when the first citizen of the USA violates his oath of allegiance to the constitution and still justifies himself even after the second impeachment. Is it not a pathological behaviour! 

All aberrant behaviour springs from the self projection of being beyond the law!

All the bikers whom I saw today without helmets and President Trump are alike in attitude to life and personal accountability as citizens! They bring disgrace to humanity.
