Another accident at the crossroad. Last week was an accident involving an old man who was killed on the spot after a hit and run. This week was an accident involving two teenage motorcyclists who just got their license about a week or so. Jack and Shuan suffered from very serious injuries and were sent to the nearest hospital. Their family rushed to the hospital together, with both mothers crying their hearts out. The scene so saddening that anyone seeing it will probably cry with them. Alas, Jack passed away due to the severity of injuries while Shuan was a little more fortunate. He survived with both his legs broken and a dislocated lower jaw and shoulder. Life over limbs they say. According to investigations, the fault lies with Shuan. However, due to the fact that there is no eye witnesses, the authorities dropped criminal charges against him. It is now up to Jack's family to pursue civil charges if they want to. "I will definately sue you. You caused the death of my son." Jack's father once went to Shuan's place and shouted this to him. Jack is their only son and they are of some influence in society. But all these were just spoken but not executed. At the end, it was Jack's mother who brought everything to a calm conclusion. "Jack is already dead. What is the use of suing him? It is an accident. No one expected for that to happen." Jack's mother said. "The dead is gone. Everything is fated.The fortunate one to survive should be given the opportunity to live on bravely and not carry the burden of those who had passed on. Shuan was stunned as he stood there and listened to what she said. "Those who are alive dun live for the dead. They for themselves and those who are alive around them. He is already badly hurt and you want to stab him emotionally with this?Do you want to force him to care the emotional scar for the rest of his life?" Jack's mother finally persuaded them to drop the charges. Shuan's family, very grateful, were literally on their knees thanking Jack's mother for dropping the charges. Losing her son but gaining a whole family who respects her and feels that they owe her a lot may just be a little comfort to her. Holding on to the past to tightly may cause you to lose hold of alot of the present. We must hold on to the present and learn to let go of the lost.Bringing the past along as you live your present will only bring you more pain and make it hard to stand up and face your future with courage.Open your heart and mind and discern between the past and present will make your future more fulfiling and only by doing so will u be able to really differenciate between the past and the present. One who always compares his present with his past will discover that only misery will be his true friend. remembering the past so that lesson is learnt but dun lett the past tie you down.
