This I've seen for all of the five plus years i have lived here. Enforcement of the laws is lax, and is the main reason this will continue to happen forever until the police are held responsible for enforcement of the laws, which is part of their job description. I see 5 on a scooter, with only the driver using a helmet, with an infant standing on the seat, nestled between two others. A car hits them at high speed, and the whole family dies. I see kids texting with one hand, driving with the other, scooters without mirrors, even though it appears most don't use mirrors anyway. It seems the majority here don't care about their or anyone else's futures, thinking if it's my turn, I can't stop that anyway. True, but driving like there's no tomorrow will certainly shorten your life. This happens daily here, as we only see a couple of accidents a day on the news, which is a tiny percentage of the accidents that happen daily. Enforce the laws, fine the drivers and ,or, their parents for being irresponsible, and they will start to learn, as taking a person's money, especially if they aren't rich, is the best deterrent. Like all of what goes wrong in this world is attributed to bad or lack of parenting, and lack of law enforcement, this has to change immediately if a change is to occur. I understand this country is years behind in many ways, but a lesson can be learned by watching and doing what other countries have done to curtail this.

I cut a rai of lawn with a lawnmower in the sun, at age 65, and all I use is a cup of iced coffee. Yaba isn't a legitimate excuse to do manual labor, especially in your twenties. This seems to be daily news now here, with monks going south.

The same with belief in ghosts, as many do here and elsewhere. I believe in spirits that might be sent by God to watch over us, but a spirit can't hurt you, despite what many here believe. A spirit doesn't have a physical body, and lacking that, can't hurt. Black magic is something others believe because they have no faith. If you believe in something, others cannot sway your thinking that easily. It's fear. People fear most anything, and it begins in childhood, and what you see and hear growing up. If you show your child fear of small insects, they will fear them, even though they can kill them with a foot or a swat from a hand. If a child sees a parent fear something, they might themselves, and it can take years to overcome it, if at all. If you believe others can hurt you with potions, you'll fear that person. A psychologist can help with this. Life's too short to fear everything. Block the witch on FB and she'll go away. If she contacts you another way, report her to the authorities. Her nonsense can't hurt you unless you think it will.
