In Oz there have been increasing numbers of people killed on the roads. Particularly young people. To me, a few flowers and a few faded notes are a small price to pay even if it saves just one young life. My sensibilities are slightly offended when I see these tributes too, but what do they matter compared to a life?
I used to think they were just 'litter', but there were a couple of events in my life which changed my perspective.
It's a shame these things had to happen for me to value the grief which produced these tributes. My only hope is that others might be wiser than I.
