Recently on my way to prayer, I was reminded that I am here by chance, by luck if you will — and will depart under similar, somewhat bizarre, circumstances. This is the same for all of us, I am sure. A small story: On my route, a dual traffic light is situated at a major intersection. The first allows the buses to proceed and the second, when illuminated green, the rest of the general traffic. This rather inattentive motorcyclist duly waited for the second light to change. He then, inexplicably, strayed into the bus lane.
