As  I saw outside the window while on a ride one day, I saw an ambulance. As it passed by, I saw it's lights reflect off house windows. I then thought of something. How do people think when they see or hear an ambulance?

I first thought how I felt, I felt nothing, neutral. The ambulance just passed by, doing it's job. I then thought how a criminal might react. Whilst inside a house, the lights coming in through the window, would obviously freak out the crimnals as well as the siren. I then thought how the person the ambulance was called for would feel. They would feel hope, happiness, the chance to save them has finally come. they also feel a  bit impatient, by their expression on their face you can see them trying to yell out. "Hurry! Help me! I want to live!" I then thought how the victim's family would react. Some would say, "Thank God." Others, might feel anger and say, "What took you so long!?" and the last possible thoughts is that one thought of why? Why was their loved one victimized? Why them? Why?

Then, I thought back, to when I was in an emergency. My father, had had a seizure...my mom panicked and I woke up. My mom couldn't even talk to 911, so I had to explain. A few minutes later, I saw the lights. I ran outside of my house and yelled as loud as I could. "HELP! HELP MY DAD!" I saw it as hope then. At that moment,  I saw them taking my dad in. I finally realized the reality of things. What if my dad died? How will I go on? What will I do? My father, came out fine and is living fine and well. Then about a week later, after my father had gotten home again, I saw those red and blue lights and simply said, "Not again." I ran into the living room and my dad was fine...I think at that time, back then, I was traumatized by the ambulance.

After thinking of all this, I realised how dumb I was to think neutrally of the ambulance. The ambulance doesn't just do it's job, it changes live.
I was just thinking for a bit, and this happened.

If I see an ambulance, I just ignore it.

I hear it too damn often on this island. >_>
