Accidents like this makes me both sad and mad.
Sad at loss of life. Sad that someone who for no fault of his loses his life. Sad that people driving the car do not take driving as a very serious business.
We call this an accident when it is anything but an accident. Call it for what it is inattention to driving, disregard to public safety (to begin with). It just makes me angry that our society is more than willing to call it an accident and that it was just unfortunate thing to happen. NO!!! It happened because well its okay not to pay attention to driving, its okay not to maintain situational awareness.
To Trek, to the family and to the friends, there is no rhyme or reason to everyday events in our lives. A very tragic event like this just reinforces the fact that we have to live each day as something special. We just don't know what can happen ahead of time.
In his memory, we should remind ourselves that each day is special, that we should cherish each day, and that we should not allow ourselves to waste a day of our lives. In his memory, we should remind our loved ones how we love them and care for them. And if we are are angry then work out the difference.
peace,
