I do a little bit at times, but I promised myself I wouldn't because that's just the way things happened. I don't believe in fate per se, but you never know what's going to happen. Who knows, if I had stayed at the deep end during that ten minutes, my stepsister might have drowned instead. I'm sure there have been a time or two that I stayed home instead of going to eat out, and avoided a car accident that could have permanently killed or disabled me. You have no way of knowing, so I think it's just best to live life and not think about it. Really tore up my dad though. He'll still bring it up from time to time and say "what if we did this instead...." This was like 6 months before the new CPR protocol came out for 30 chest compressions to 2 breaths; the old protocol we used was 15:2. He'll be like "I wonder if we would have done it the 'right way' (i.e. 30 compressions) would he have lived?" He was totaly full of water though in stomach and lungs, so i'm pretty confident there was no chance to bring him back. In reality, CPR only works for like 15 or 20% of people.
I agree with you about fate. It's a scary thought, but I really do beleive that everything is just a wild series of random events where the smallest choice can change the world.
And, who knows, you might just have saved your stepsisters life by going over to her. It's always okay to feel bad, but never good grief take over. It sounds like you did a really good job of understanding and mourning what happened, but without letting it control you. I've seen some good people turned bad because of things like that.
it's funny you mention getting into a car accident though, a few years ago I got into a real bad one that I would have missed all thogether if I haden't had taken the extra minute I did that morning to admire the sunrise.
Like I said; stupid little choices can have major results. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.
Hopefully good, though.
Beautiful sunrise, though.
Well you're still here, and who knows: if you didn't watched the sunrise, you might have been hit by a different car and killed. Everyone on this thread has parents, grandparents, or older relatives who are old enough or have health conditions that they could die right now or at any time. We have no way of knowing when we'll die or when someone we love will be taken from us, so we just do the best we can to enjoy what we have while we have it. That's the way I see things.
Thanks for your concern, btw
Retour en haut
. However you have inspired me... I plan on starting a research run to make sure every. little. detail. is accurate when I write a fan fic... starting from ME1 and progressing through ME2.... But I bet this thread will still exsist.
