Reckless racing is a lethal trend threatening lives

Undoubtedly, death is inescapable, but the loss of young lives in recurring accidents is terribly shocking. Every new day, tragedies befall us that turn normal life into mourning and wailing. Sorrows grip corners of tranquility across the towns and cities, leaving everyone shattered and broken. In the realm of fantasy, everyone is proving to be a hero of high class to imprint the howling marks on the illusionary designed album. It is rather immaturity that manifests our cheap rationality and low self-discipline. Every natural death is a loss, but deaths that occur with bike riding recount a cycle of lasting tragedy for society. There is a common viewpoint among all that speedy bikers are accustomed to doing all for public glamour and popularity. This self-proclaimed craziness could take only lives which induces clouds of agony in families. Illusionary gardens last for short moments and hence they harbour not anything beautiful as such that will fascinate onlookers for years to come. It is just a flash which comes and then escapes without staying for longer hours.
Surprisingly, life seems like an ordinary toy in the hands of those who are just playing it unwisely. At least, they should know whether they are racing with “Lives or the world full of deceptive colours” which takes lives mercilessly. Why not ponder over it? Speeding up bikes on roads by taking over other vehicles is nothing but a pampering addiction for showing extreme foolishness. Why do we plunge our lives into death taking risks? Can we have any answer for justifying this normal question? The answer is yes because our racing bikers have neither a good concern for their precious lives nor others. They relish doing risky stunts and zero cuts at points where everyone gets astounded. Likes and comments should flood the videos to discover the budges for followers. I wonder what the subject of fascination wants to prove to us. Learn the importance of life and also learn how to counter with the fascinating deception which has lured our senses for the real purpose of life. Just imagine for a while, that our lives are more important than anything else in this world. These should not be played with the risks. Think twice before taking any risk of higher susceptibility wherein death is the end.
Risks are considered sensational opportunities in the eyes of racers, but actually, they are not. Anything which has a near chance of causing death is the name of risk. Risks are not the gardens full of fragrances for smelling. It is very disheartening to see crazy stunts alongside the roads. Passersby get stuck with fear while seeing such dangerous moves. It is a fact that the death graph shows upward from the last couple of years indicating maximum deaths which occur are due to bikers. Life is a boon, but not a commodity by putting it on auction. However, it is priceless and has no buyers across the world. Stunts and racing craze are potential hazards that have taken a number of young lives so far.
Craziness is the other name for wilderness that results in severe injuries and loss of lives. Not a single day passes normally when we don’t come across horrible biking accidents. Who cares for his life? Who preaches lessons for driving slowly on roads? Our conscience is dead, and we hardly care for our previous lives while driving bikes on roads and highways. Life is not fast, but we have put it in top gear to race with the world around us.
Ignorance and craziness can only build a pyramid of deaths for regret. The racing craze induces ripples of thoughts which destroy lives in tragic accidents. The bikers should yearn for longevity in their lives rather than making every single moment risky. As Muslims, we are obligated to follow good principles but playing with lives in such a way that goes against the commandments of Islam. Over the last couple of years, our police department in Jammu and Kashmir has done a commendable job by organizing awareness programs at district levels related to safe driving and safety measures which can save our lives. These programs should continue in the future that will develop at least a positive understanding and sensibility, especially for our youth for driving carefully on roads.
Our lives are so important that we can‘t think. Slow driving is a positive attitude that keeps a good balance of mind. For God’s sake, let’s slow down driving speeds on roads and highways and follow the proper guidelines while driving bikes and vehicles. Takeaway: Let’s come out from the racing craze and think that our lives are not meant for showcasing in the market which is full of buyers. Learn about good things as they always give positive results. Whether I drive a car or a bike is not the matter but the important thing better than these two is my life and my family.
