Much later that night,the 8 question of why I,d stopped for that light came back to me.I think I stopped because it,s part of a contract(合同)we all have with each other.Its not only the law,but it,s an agreement we have,and we trust each other to honor 9 :We dont go through red lights.Like most of us,I,m more ready to be stopped from doing something bad by the social agreement that disapproves of it |
