"To avoid accidents"
"To reduce my speed"
"To stop" etc etc.
But the best reply I have heard was "To enable you to drive faster"
How is this even possible?? This is correct if you see from the point of view of LIFE.
Most of us have cursed our teachers / parents / mentor/ friends, who at various points in our life have questioned us about our progress, any decision that we have taken without their consultation, the direction in which we are moving.
We consider these as "brakes" in our progress.
But one should remember that it is due to these questions that we say are "brakes" that we have reached where we are today. It is these "brakes" that have made us think, evaluate and change our decisions at some time or the other and also have let us drive faster than before.
Without these "brakes" we would have met with accidents, skid, fallen somewhere in deep pits. This is my experience.
I for one am indebted to all these "brakes" in my life.
Appreciate the "brakes" which come in your life. Without them we would not be where we are today.
I think brakes give the driver control, which is important in determining his chosen pace literally and figuratively speaking. Brakes give us the control to slow down or soar. Its the thought that they are there that gives us freedom and courage to move forward. .. With control.. My thoughts
ReplyDeletePerfectly correct. Therefore we should appreciate the "brakes" in life.

Undoubtedly the brakes are very significant in our lives! Great metaphor Sriram!
