Destinations

While driving to a friends house the other night after dropping my mom off at work, I was sitting in the car at a red light, getting ready to turn left when the dumbest thing occurred to little old moi. Although the other people at the light were turning left, with me, we all essentially had different destinations, none of us were going the same place, and wrapped up inside of each of the cars, was in a way, a different world.

That got me thinking. Wouldn't it be super cool to start at one red light with the cars lined up to turn left, and follow where they all went on a high tech GPS? Watch what happened due to their driving actions? At the last minute say, one car decides to not turn right and cuts off another car by switching lanes, causing the guy who was cut off to slow down, causing him to be rear ended. Thinking that If the first car had of just turned right, there wouldn't have been an accident... Or say if the red mustang just decided to go home instead of down 22ND......

That lead me to another train of thought. If each and every car influences each and every other car, how much different is that to people? Will the way that I act around people, have a direct influence on their day, even the rest of their life? Can something that I do or say change how a person thinks, acts or behaves? How often to we say something in passing and never realize the profound or disasterous effect that it will have on a person...

Essentially the whole thought made me take one very large step back, and think, which, yes, I know, is a very very scary thing....
