Answer: It is important that we should look before we leap, because many people, especially young people leap into darkness without looking. Life is all darkness and we should not take hasty steps at any time of our life.
It is important to be cautious and careful at every step of our lives. The death of Sanjay Gandhi proves the importance of looking before you leap. He did everything rashly without using necessary caution and carefulness. That is why he died in the acrobatic plane of which he knew nothing. The plane was not tested properly and it was not airworthy. It was not intended to be used at a height less than five thousand feet, but he threw all the cautions to the winds and consequently paid a heavy price for his rashness. The death of Sanjay Gandhi should be an eye-opener to all the young people who are foolhardy enough to sow whirlwinds and reap whirlpools.
“Live dangerously” was a slogan of Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru which he repeated to the gathering of the youth and advised them to lead dangerous life for the sake of adventure and the freedom of India. As a slogan “Live dangerously” is O.K. But caution is even more necessary than adventure and living dangerously. It is this kind of slogan which went into the blood of Sanjay Gandhi, and cost him his precious life. It may be said that Nehru killed Sanjay Gandhi, because Sanjay followed the philosophy of his grandfather and chose to live dangerously rather than cautiously and carefully. In fact, Sanjay did not look carefully in the darkness of ignorance before he leap to his death.
Living safely is more important than living dangerously. We must use caution and carefulness at every step of our lives. Anything can happen at any time. Life is a big chasm and there is only a hair-breadth’s difference between life and death. If you do not use proper caution, you do not know what may happen to you at any time of your life. Smallest negligence may lead to tragic events. Aero planes fall because of little caution on behalf of the pilots.
