Amber Light

While crossing roads, I don't look at pedestrian traffic lights face on - I see the lights facing the oncoming traffic. When it turns amber and I see the cars slowing down, I start crossing. Sometimes I see fellow pedestrians bewildered, looking at me crossing when the lights they see say "Don't cross." But it's simply because they don't see what I see. Likewise, we are amazed when those with clairvoyance. But all they are doing is read signs ofthe future earlier. Red lights for the cars will come after amber lights - it's just cause and effect in a way- though it can be argued that the amber lights do not exactly cause the lights to turn red. But it's programmed that way - lest there are faults in the system.
