گاڑی پہ جاتے ہوئے راستے میں سپیڈ بریکر کے آنے کا مقصد آپ کی گاڑی کو روکنا نہیں ہوتا بلکہ گاڑی کی رفتار کو کنٹرول کرنے کے لئے تنبیہ ہوتی ہے کہ آپ کی موجودہ رفتار کسی حادثے کا پیش خیمہ ثابت ہو سکتی ہے ایسے ہی زندگی کی شاہراہ پہ چلتے ہوئے کہیں نہ کہیں مصائب و مشکلات آ جاتی ہیں تو دل برداشتہ ہو کر خودکشی کر کے زندگی کی گاڑی کو محض روک دینا مقصود نہیں ہوتا بلکہ زندگی میں گناہوں کی رفتار کو کنٹرول کرنا مقصد ہوتا ہے۔ گناہوں کی موجودہ رفتار اخروی حادثے کا شکار ہو سکتی ہے۔

‏مٹّی کی طرح ہاتھ لگانے سے بکھر جائیں
ہم لوگ تو وہ ہیں جو بنانے سے بکھر جائیں
ممکن ہے تیرے غم نے ہمیں باندھ رکھا ہو
ممکن ہے کہ یہ بوجھ ہٹانے سے بکھر جائیں
