Why is drink-driving still an issue?

We all acknowledge we do not entertain thoughts of injuring ourselves or others, becoming disabled or even having an abrupt death, but do we really appreciate? Most of drink-drive offenders that I have acquainted were more concerned with punishment from courts and fines or driving bans. So, we can safely say that either way, there is no benefit or justification to drink-drive, we then ask so why do so many of us practice this?

Because this is so easy and convenient, but the saying, difficult roads lead to beautiful places is the same as easy things end in catastrophe and devastation!

Given the year and a promise of a leap in evolution, this is time to recognise hazardous pursuit we dare to endanger. Not only dangers considered, but wholistic self-worth will become each of our goals. Neglecting autonomy, because denying instincts or carrying on with immoral or unjust actions and attitudes is harmful and affecting to both giver and receiver, psychologically in major often unappreciated ways.

New habits will manifest, if the receiver continues to face prejudice and discrimination, survival instincts will take over his/her person. Thought, action and instinctual manner is now creating new neuronal pathways. The giver does not escape this affect, pathways will create that harden the undisclosed burden on the other. Cells shut down, reputations are formed, mind affects body so this will affect both giver and receiver health wise or other to different extents.

Once I was introduced, by a man who had studied brain, behaviour and human interaction, to the speculation that people’s disabilities worsen, even physically because of how society relates to them. Since my study years I found more proof, this is science fact! Remembering my experiences, I can agree wholeheartedly.

After studying, I realized I have lived most my younger life in survival mode, this made for great astuteness and empathy, but when the opposition was the community, I had to re-survive in unaccustomed ways. Thoughts and attitudes that I always found ridicule with, I noticed I was having, even automatic, responsive facial expressions were surprising me. Everyday was filled with new agendas I was forced to greet. This is the power of all our minds.

So, we can agree that a life with a disability is not our intention, but drinking, doing drugs, fighting, drink-driving or speeding are all a one- way ticket towards some form of disability/mental-health and eventually, premature death. Appreciate you cannot properly, a life of disability is very different to any realm of existence. Yes, all our realisms are different but unless you would like a totally abstract confusing view of social obscurity and your mind reaction of operating in survival mode full time and all our minds work in ways of least resistance, I would not act juvenile, rather spend twenty quid on a taxi, or arrive late, or give them a hug instead, and intoxicate yourself with love.

Look at prisoners in isolation, a massive affect is had on them. Any form of disability or difference from the norm can result in social solitude. A yearn to escape the silence just enhances neuronal fracturing. Is much like living as a prisoner in a world full of people, a deaf person in rupturing noise or a blind person in iconic beauty, there is no appreciation of another’s abilities.

Social interaction is necessary for successful development in childhood and continues throughout life. Isolation is, I think a bigger cause of mortality and anguish than cigarettes, talk more on this later as this is fact.

We tend to shy away from strangers, this is advised to younger inhabitants and seemingly, due to disability/mental health, routine in a lot of adults. We are structured to pass our neighbours and community because we have somewhere to get, or I do not have time or patience. I am sorry to say, but those interactions of no personal gain are often sublimated. Partly why elderly people are so communicative, they may have experienced isolation and have certainly seen enough life to know you never know what you can learn from new acquaintances and there is always enough time just to acknowledge someone, whatever their stature. Also, older people know of the sense of nurture to the younger or impaired, but I must explain this view as well, they, stopping for a conversation, gain momentary relief from their possible silent loneliness, I think I talk of this later, all animalistic behaviours, including humans are ultimately selfish. This is natural how survival operates; we would never have survived if we did not consider self-first.

Society is vital for everyone, sure we get introverts, even they sometimes think there is something wrong with them, misfits are not introverts, they are more likely pushed out by an assuming community.

We are, a lot of us, anchored by oppression.

Humans operate in groups, how the group views the individual does also. Depending on status of looked at and viewer this is also true the other way, a person of high status might become mimicked by the whole group in varying ways. An expectation is that the individual will do as the group does, some seem reluctant to remain individual, why do ya think people of unique views are often held in high regard. The environment dictates to us all if we realise this or not.

There are many very caring people, we all admit to caring, differences in the same but few of us really look at ourselves and question our virtues and morals. If people really looked at what affects and changes their behaviours, they would have an insight into just how animalistic humans are. Example: The individual will most probably alter inbred attitudes when they witness the majority acting a certain way to say a minority. There’s a famous saying about one person following the crowd.
