Accidents -- Part 13

Have you ever been in a car accident? What's the first thing your Mind starts doing? I mean after it's all over and you're sitting there waiting for the police.

Most of us start assigning blame. Either blaming the other person, the mailbox, that bush that hid the mailbox...sometimes we even blame ourselves. Rare, but we do.

How long until the blaming starts getting downright operatic? That's where the "if only" scenarios come in. If only I had not stopped for that latte, I wouldn't have crashed into this guy.

Like in the movie "Sliding Doors" where the heroine's life splits into two different stories based on whether or not she misses her train.

These mind games are perfect fodder for hours of pointless thinking.
