Question:
En route to work tonight , I spotted three or four raccoons in the middle of the road ahead of me . I mashed on the brakes and turned as far away as I could but still had n't slowed enough . Two or three of them had darted off to my left but the last was running straight forward along the road away from me and I was literally running it down .

What caused the speaker to slam on their breaks in an attempt to avoid hitting the raccoons ?
Answer:
They do not want to be responsible for killing or harming the animals

Question:
Perhaps they had good intentions , but obviously that was the wrong answer , since Hashem got mad and we had to wander around for 40 years . That made me lie back and look up at the dark sky and think for a bit ... The point of my life is NOT to try to find the easiest way out ... even if I wanted to . The point is n't to find the most ' efficient ' path , the ' quickest ' way . The point is to get in there , get dirty , and struggle ... Struggle by doing seemingly fruitless things that are difficult , to fully engage with life instead of sitting on the side lines and thinking " I do n't know what I ' m doing , so why should I play ? "

What may be the reason for their reflection on life ?
Answer:
They want to have a better life for themselves .
