I saw this, and my Car Crash Syndrome kicked in, and I just happened to have my trusty camera with me.
Fate
Car Crash Syndrome is basically morbid curiosity, when people slow down to see car crashes, sub-consciously they want to see something gruesome. Only the real sicko’s would admit to wanting to see some gore, but it is Humans nature to be curious of this morbid sense of entertainment. Throughout Human history there has been many times when Human suffering has been used as entertainment, most notably the Gladiators of Rome.
Why people find this fascinating I cannot answer, I can only simply guess. Perhaps it is some prehistoric instincts that are still hard wired into our brains even though we do not have use for it anymore. Without curiosity Humans would not have evolved, they would not have thought what would happen if you attach a flint onto a stick with a bit of string. And with curiosity, comes morbid curiosity.
Now this then made me think how insignificant Life is, the majority of people will only do what millions have done before them, they have no ambition or creativity. Why not create something new. People seem to only want to do what everyone else is doing, goto Uni, have relationships, and of course, breed. Now all this is good, but why not ALSO be creative? instead of getting into a 9 – 5 insignificant job, create something that changes how people think or view life.
Then comes Death, something we all have in common. I have heard the saying ‘we all die alone’ which I think is very true. Even if someone is with you when you die, you are going to pass on by yourself. Yes this sounds very depressing, which is why my outlook in life is to instead of doing what millions have done before me, I am going to, or at least try my best, to create.
