Signs and Lights
<br/><p>If the traffic light didn't have red, we probably wouldn't know when to stop.</p><p>If the traffic light didn't have yellow, we probably wouldn't know when to get ready to move.</p><p>If the traffic light didn't have green, we probably wouldn't know when to start.</p><p>So we appreciate green flags because we've seen the red ones.</p><p>We value peace because we've survived chaos.</p><p>I guess that's why you never truly know what you have until it's gone.</p><p>And sometimes I wish life were as easy as a traffic light.</p><p>After all, we often say we have different destinations. So surely there should be signposts along the way... shouldn't there?</p><p>Because most times we see STOP, ROAD CLOSED, RESTRICTED AREA, DANGER AHEAD, BLIND CORNER, DEAD END, and NO U-TURN.</p><p>Yet we keep going.</p><p>Hoping the NO U-TURN somehow becomes a U-TURN. Hoping that by the time it's our turn, the road will be open.</p><p>We see the red lights flashing in people, and suddenly we're color-blind.</p><p>Every warning becomes a misunderstanding.</p><p>Every flash becomes a maybe.</p><p>Every red becomes a green.</p><p>We read DANGER AHEAD, yet enter body, soul, and spirit first.</p><p>We see RESTRICTED AREA, but somehow believe love has made us VIPs.</p><p>Until one day, we realize the signs were never there to stop us from loving.</p><p>They were there to stop us from crash-landing.</p><p>To stop us from emotional wreckage.</p><p>Because accidents hardly ever involve just one person.</p><p>The signs were there to protect us and those around us.</p><p>So the next time the traffic light turns red...</p><p>STOP.</p><p>The next time you see NO U-TURN...</p><p>TURN AROUND.</p><p>Because sometimes,</p><p>going back to square one</p><p>is far better</p><p>than moving forward</p><p>to minus one.</p>
