this person can choose to react to the accident in a CONSTRUCTIVE way, rather than feeling sorry and pitiful for himself

if you happen to lose your child in a car accident by drunk driver. I am going to tell you, it is a bad thing, it is HORRIBLE.
but even in this situation, there are examples to create value from disaster
Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) is a wonderful organization and a perfect example of how parents who have suffered the loss of injury of a child at the hands of an irresponsible element of scoiety have chosen, through social action, to create meaning out of that suffering.

I am not saying "their child's death worth" I am just saying that reaction was a CHOICE

what more examples can you give? who would stand up and say "My life is not the result of my choices" ?

and people, for one last time, if you want to play the "what if" game, play it till the end

You know, you sound to me as someone who maybe hasn't had enough experience in life to make these kinds of judgements, in other words: naive. Try to see things from a different viewpoint for once. How can you talk about a mother losing a child as if you have the slightest clue what that means?

I didn't say you hurt anybody, where did you read that? I said you made no sense to me, which you didn't.
