Ignoring the warning signs...

Some people just do not heed warning signs.

Recently in the route I use to go to work, they have implemented a new traffic flow which stops drivers turning right during the peak rush hour at the end of day between 5pm to 7pm. This allows a smoother flow of traffic out from the industrial zone where I work. There are signs indicating this at all the traffic light junctions and the lights have been set to red during this time for traffic that are affected by this.

Previously the police have placed cones to block off the junction to force the traffic flow into the one direction. Now that they have not placed these barriers, drivers either do not notice the signs or are ignoring them altogether as they wait at the junction and will inadvertently try to dash across the traffic flow if there are any gaps in the traffic. This endangers not only their lives but lives of others as they persistently ignore the warning.

Similarly in our spiritual lives, there are danger / warnings. It is up to us to see them and act on them. If we choose to ignore them then we will need to face the consequences of our actions which may not only affect us but people around us.
