Caring For Others, Or Turning into Animals?

Dubai: Adam Pollack — a prominent sportsman and a member of Dubai Roadsters cycling club — died due to injuries he sustained after his bicycle collided with a motorcycle on October 15.
The motorcyclist also died in the tragic accident.
The 44-year-old father of four was a keen sportsman. Wolfgang Hohmann, owner of Wolfi's Bike Shop and also a member of the cycling club, told Gulf News that Pollack was very excited about the sport.
"He had been very sporty in the past and wanted to get back into sport. He was a regular and rode with us in Dubai. There were also rides in Hatta that he would go out to," he said.
Hohmann said Pollack bought his bike from his shop and that a friend had introduced him to the sport. "People should be aware and look out for each other. Be careful, be aware, because your life can end at any second. Two men lost their lives on that day. We need to learn from this... we have to be careful. It's a very sad story," Hohmann said.

Isn't it funny how people these days aren't considerate of those around them?
Nowadays, people fail to acknowledge the fact that the world does not revolve around them. They should take caution in their actions.

It is well known that motorcyclists do not take note in the way they ride their motorcycles, which increases the risk of other peoples lives in danger. this is what happened to Adam Pollack. Both the motorcyclist and Adam Pollack would still be alive today, if bikers were more careful.
Today we live in a world where it's all about appearance and where other people's opinions matter. Where stunts on the road are considered "cool", ignorant of the fact that there are others around them that have friends and loved ones.

We should not be selfish with our actions, and risk other peoples' lives, we, as human beings, should look after one another, because if we don't, who will? We'd then all be better off called animals, and someone's life being taken should not be the point where we realise this.

Life's not all about us, therefore lets consider and care for others around us.
