Vaccination and Oral Drops:
Today I met 2 ladies who were going door to door asking if there were any kids under 5 yrs, so they could administer 'POLIO drops'. There is rigorous campaigning for vaccinations and Polio drops for better future of our children. Why ?
Are we not responsible for our children's good health, is it not our moral responsibility as Parents to ensure that all vaccinations and Oral drops be administered on time for their safety ? Yet the govt. has to worry for our children's safety and good health. Why?
Wearing helmet:
As we walk on the roads of Mumbai, Delhi and many other cities in India we find people driving 2 wheelers without helmet, most of the time the helmet is missing or hanging on the sides of the vehicle and worn only when one sees the traffic police.
The govt. issues driving license at age 18, Why? Should a irresponsible person be given a license."One who doesn't respect his own life how could he respect life of others".
Instead of charging them with a petty fine, why not revoke their driving license and no claim reimbursed in-case of accidents. May be then we may see the helmets where it rightfully should be.
Drunken Driving:
Just the other day there was an car accident near by, the boy (driving) and his friends were seriously injured as he was driving in a drunken state. Everyone blamed the driver, "Are others not equally responsible for sitting in a car driven by a person in a drunken state". Why should only one be blamed? If friends refuse to accompany a person driving in a drunken state, many lives could be saved.
As I see similar things happening around I wonder ! Is our life's safety other peoples or our govt.'s responsibility'?
'As an individual shouldn't we value our life and take precautions'? then Why? do we blame others for our negligence.
