Emergency Brakes

As defined, an action taken to stop one particular ongoing ‘incident’ within the shortest time period other than slowing down a vehicle itself. Comes to driving, there are times where we do not know when to use the ‘service’ provided by simply stepping on the device and go panic instead, which commonly happen around us. How fast are we suppose to react when actions should be taken? How do we know and how do we do it? Plenty of mistakes we would make in life, but the matter is how far are we to go before we brake, backing away from the deeper pitfalls and more complicated maze? We have learned how to go as fast as we could in order to keep up our paces along with the others, we have learned to minus off the talking and put in more working, even learned to do whatever it takes just to lay our hands on what we are aiming for. Still, do we know how to go as slow as possible, while maintaining our balance and needs? Do we know when we are to use our words to touch one’s heart? Do we know when to put a sentence to an end, the emergency brake to our doings? It has always been easy planning the to do list, even easier to back off from necessary troubles and the easiest when it comes to blaming on others but, it will always be the hardest to slow down our paces, knowing it is time to step on the braking device, to realize the goal and aims, taking another turn out of the maze, to truly understand the purpose of emergency brakes.
