Driverless Cars

Driverless cars, coming soon to a dealership near you, are extensions of driverless lives. Since we don’t think about the higher things of life, the first tier questions, but rather accept without critical thinking what we’ve been taught and go on our way consuming goods and services because, after all, when we die we die – why should we have to think about driving? A driverless car will give us more time to electronically “connect” with people, buy things on the internet, and listen to lyrics and music often without beauty and thoughtful composition – music and lyrics that deaden rather than lift the soul.

Fools that we are, we don’t realize that there are no driverless cars just as there are no driverless lives; something or someone will always have to drive the car, and someone or something will always have to drive lives. The difference between a driverless car and a driverless life is that when the system in a driverless car fails and the car crashes – that is not by design. However, when a driverless life crashes, when a driverless society crashes, that is by design; not the design of God, but the design of the enemy – we are involved in a massive societal pileup, a crash, a catastrophe; but we are drunk at the wheel and don’t know it – when we start to awake we take another drink and deaden the pain.
