Timmulator, . . . a very wise man one day explained to me a very significant piece of information about decisions we make.
He said that if the decision was a good one when it was made, . . . it is still a good one the next day, the next week, the next month, the next year, and so on. No one knows the future, . . . we must just do what we can in this present tense in which we are imprisoned. You made the best decision, that day, . . . for that time, . . . in those circumstances, . . . you could have made.
As another opined, a motorcyclist off the road in any kind of accident is either going to survive with or without basic first aid, . . . or die, . . . with or without basic first aid. Your best help was what you did, . . . went after the pro's.
To assuage any guilt you may feel, . . . go get a police report of that accident, take time to go over it in detail, drive out to the spot and see if it is where you were stopped. Though I am not a betting man, . . . I would probably put my money on "setup" for you, . . . "coincidence" for the motorcycle accident.
Would I have gotten out of my vehicle, . . . yes, I probably would have in years past. But then again, . . . my nature is normally observant and trusting until I see reason to be otherwise. Under most circumstances it has served me well, . . . but sometimes I think my guardian angel will rub his bandages, wipe his brow, and let out a big grin when I enter heaven and say, "Man, I'm glad that's over. He's finally here."
May God bless,
Dwight
