Life... just a thought
A couple had an arguement. The wife had lost her brother when she was young, and her sister later in life. The husband recently lost his brother. The wife's brother died of cancer while the sister died in a car accident. The husband's brother committed suicide.
The husband was really sad. He couldn't get over the fact of his brother's death. He got upset when the wife told him that he has to move on and look on the brighter side. The wife got upset when the husband implied that she doesn't understand how painful it is to lose a family member. She felt that if someone was to talk about losing a sibling, she was the one to talk. She knew exactly how painful it is to lose a sibling.
Both were right. Both were wrong. The wife's brother and sister died without a choice. The husband's brother, well, he held his own life in his hand. He, had a choice.
Is it more painful to lose someone dear when you know, nothing could have changed it? Or is it more painful to lose someone dear when you know, very well, that there was an alternative?
Or perhaps they are equally painful, but different perspective?
I was watching TV tonight, and a show about big airline disasters was on. People were flying home or going on holidays during Christmas. Everyone on the plane but 4 died because the pilots didn't pay as much attention as they should have. They were well respected pilots, both very experienced.
Is it then more painful to know that someone's beloved ones didn't have to die if someone paid a little more attention to what they were paid to do?
Perhaps this is just yet another mystery in life that no one can ever solve.
