The Pillion and the Crystal Vase
Does your boyfriend or husband rides a motorcycle and takes you
along as a pillion rider? If he does, try this little dialogue on
him.
Tell him to imagine a tall Swarovski Crystal Vase. Its rare, its
precious, its the only one of its kind in the world and it costs
over $10,000. It does not come in any packaging at all but now he
is tasked to transport it from one place to another.
Ask him what he would do. Would he strap it on the back of his
motorcycle? Or would he take a cab and cuddle it safely in his arms
to the destination?
Im sure anybody transporting such a cargo would have the common
sense to take it in a cab.
Now ask him, if he knows that such a precious thing is not meant to
be transported on a motorcycle, then why does he put you on it?
Are you not rare, precious and only one of its kind in this world
too? Are you not worth as much to him that you can be placed on the
rear end an object zooming down the street at 90km/h? Dont you
deserve to be cuddled safely to your destination too instead of
just being placed behind his back?
Im writing about this because as I flipped the papers today, there
was YET another story of a couple being involved in a motorcycle
accident. There are just too many of it happening these days.
Somehow I feel that todays parents take it very lightly that the
lives of their daughters are out there in the hands of a young
motorcycle punk.
The rider in the report today escaped with only minor injuries and
was treated as an outpatient. His female pillion rider was
pronounced dead at the scene.
Yes, death is a tragedy. But sometimes, I consider it lucky when
people die from a motorcycle accident. It could be worse. They
could have survived, only to live life like a vegetable or moving
around with no limbs on a wheelchair for the rest of their
lives.
If a man truly loves a woman, he wouldnt put her on a
motorcycle.
