Switch on the "Head-Lights" first!

I had just been to celebrate one of my friends birthday at night; at a far-off place from the city. As I entered city on my bike I was met with the usual chaos and traffic. So much of pollution, pot holed roads, unruly traffic, corrupt and pot bellied RTO’s, a.k.a mama ...the feeling sucks even now!
As soon as I entered city, there a bike brushed me at lightning speed. Gosh! I was saved by skin of teeth. I thanked God and moved on. I just mumbled “Sons of those wretched wealthy business men enjoying there time on high end bikes and creating trouble for others!” But then in another two minutes two cars again went nicking me at 100 KMPH. I exclaimed "What’s wrong with people? Everyone is just coming and trying to hit me?” I was just thinking over it. Why people cannot follow simple traffic rules? Why cannot they drive carefully? I was cursing all those people who break traffic rules and make life mess for people like me!
Zoooooooooom!!! One more bike moved past me leaving me perspiring, only thing that I could hear was, was my heart beats…exploding like bombs. Then a Good Samaritan on another bike shouted “Switch on the head lights, you fool! Don't you understand that?"
Damn it! It struck me so late that I did not even start my headlights. Immediately switched on the headlights and reached home safely.
Sometimes in life we forget to switch on our "Head-Lights". We go on complaining that people are so bad, so cruel. There is no place for humanity. How can God be so heartless? How can he leave me on this cruel place to bear such ordeal?
We go on cribbing and cringing about everything, about the society, the corrupt system, the politicians, businessmen, bureaucrat, Boss at office, "Boss" at home, western culture and what not. At the same time we never bother to switch on the "Head-Lights". "Head-Lights" meaning asking yourself “Am I going wrong somewhere? Were these situations manifested by me? Did I attract this mess towards my self? Am I the actual trouble monger?” . In Buddha's words "Aatma Deepo Bhava" or be a light unto yourself. Being a light unto yourself means to light up Head's light. To contemplate, doubt the one who doubts the whole world outside. To question the one who always criticizes someone or the other i.e your mind.
Nature is constantly sending signals to switch on the "Head-Lights". Alas! To wander in wilderness has become our second nature.
P.S Actually I realised very late there was a typo in the name of the blog. It should have been Cogito ergo sum meaning "I Think therefore I am" and not codeto ergo sum. Because of the typo now it means "I code therefore I am :)". Nevertheless I would stay with the wrong one!
