At the tail end of an article, The New York Times admitted that Black Hawk pilot Rebecca Lobach, who crashed into an American Airlines plane in January, “failed to heed a directive from her co-pilot, an Army flight instructor, to change course.”

I wonder if rejecting directives was a character trait learned and practiced from a young age. I wonder how many times she may have disregarded her parents' instructions. Perhaps none, but the last act of her life was heedlessness. It killed everyone in her copter, and everyone on the airliner. All fell to their deaths.

Proverbs 10:8  The wise in heart will receive commands, But a prating fool will fall.
