As a community based organization, we at the VWF like to be in on all things Sarasota. With that said, there is something that has come to our attention; freak accidents involving pedestrians and moving vehicles. The shocking number of accidents involving pedestrians in the Sarasota area is not only devastating, but alarming. What could be the reason behind such accidents?
Of course these days there are many distractions that drivers face; the usual chaos of daily life, work thoughts, family thoughts, rushing to get to a destination on time, cell phones, ipods, and much more. With all of those distractions it is easy to forget that we as humans are extremely vulnerable, and that life is precious thing; it can be ripped away in an instant. No one is immune to disastrous situations like these, no matter what age, gender, or social standing.
This article from the Herald Tribune shows yet another accident in the Sarasota area.
So what can we do? It seems that as a single person it is impossible to make such a large change, but a big change it starts with one person. take the time to look at your life from a broad picture, look at the decisions you are making, assess whether or not you are making a wise decision, and learn to value what you do have. Slow down, and realize that your actions could affect others.
Of course we are not trying to preach here, and we do usually keep a very upbeat spirit here at the VWF, but when something as horrific as this occurs, we cannot help but address the situation.
