So there's this guy lives in Lakewood,
New Jersey, and it's not a well lit
place. The streets are not well lit.
He's driving in the winter at night,
5:30 p.m. in stitch glass. He turns the
corner
and he almost hit somebody. Thank God he
didn't. But he got very nervous because
Lakewood, New Jersey is a very Jewish
community, a very traditional community,
and people are walking dressed like this
in the dark and it's just not not a good
idea. So he rolls down the window and he
sees that it's a teenager and he's
thinking, should I say something? Should
I not say something? Should I tell him
that he should walk more responsibly,
wear some sort of reflective vest, or
just let it slide? in his words, "Life
and death or get in an altercation with
a
teenager." He says, "I'm going to say
something." He rolls down the window and
he says, "Young man, excuse me. I don't
know if you
noticed. I almost killed
you. And you really should be more
responsible. You're dressed all in
black. It's pitch black outside. There
are no lights here. you really should
consider wearing some sort of reflective
vest or or something like that. You know
how the young man
responded? He points to the front of the
car. He says, "Your headlights are off."
Your headlights are off. His headlights
are off, but when his headlights were
off, he noticed somebody else was doing
something
wrong. If his headlights were
on, that young man was still doing
something wrong. But he wouldn't have
noticed it. He would have saw the human
being.
