Question

Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of about 80 miles. It was late, and I was driving .

At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroad with a traffic light. I was on the road by now, but as I came near the light, it turned , and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right, and behind me. Nothing. No car, no suggestion of headlights, there I sat, waiting for the light to , the only human being, for at least a mile in any .

I started wondering why I to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was no policeman anywhere around and there certainly would have been no in going through it.

Much later that , after I'd met with a group in Lewisburg and had climbed into bed near midnight, the question of why I'd stopped for that light me. I think I stopped it's part of a contract(契約) we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to follow : we don't go through red lights.

We do we say we'll do. We show up when we say we'll show up.

I was so of myself for stopping for that red light. And as no one would ever have known what a good person I was on the road from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, I had to tell someone.
