Scared to death

Yesterday evening, I was in a tricycle that nearly got hit by a truck and we were just a second safe.
The rider was at fault though and it baffled me how people can't take heed to simple safety rules.

I sat in the middle and while the danger struck,the man beside me screamed out loud, I had a split second panic,I can't remember what the lady beside me did and the driver was making sure the accident didn't happen.

After everything the man beside me started hitting the driver and cursing,he was furious,he almost cried.

"Do you know who you're carrying, do you know the value of the person sitting here, In England this can't happen,you can't drive without a license?"

I kept calm,I just wanted to go home and rest,I did...
I slept and woke up very late,I must have been really exhausted.

On my way to work this morning, the previous day occurrence just flashed through my mind and I kept on wondering why I wasn't scared or furious

Maybe I wasn't scared of death
Maybe I was too overwhelmed to think
Maybe I was feeling too alone

But then again I thought about the people that loved me,I thought about my dad,I thought about friends, I thought about the few people I built my world around, they might not get over it.

why are we here

Many times we focus our minds on the people that hate us and the people that weren't there when we needed them the most and we loose sight of the people that hold us dear...
We always want more but don't maximze the little we have.
People care about you even though they don't show it the way you would prefer they did.
Focus on them
Live for them

Wow... What an experience. Thank God for life.

People care about you even though they don't show it the way you would prefer they did.

So true, its when things happen that they show and you feel the love more.

Thank God...
You're right love

Yeah.... Usually, close shaves with death like this one usually brings us back to our senses and makes us value people more. I am so glad that you are fine dear.
