If there were Justice in this world, my friend - YOU would still be riding, and HE would be in the chair.
I could not continue on with my tiny little life if I had done something to someone, as has been done to you. I could not just walk away from someone I had wronged in this way. This is utterly Alien to me. Yet, it's the society in which we live.
Nobody takes personal responsability for their actions anymore. When my Father was killed last year - Lawyers came out of the woodwork, trying to get us to file suit. It was an EASY multi-million settlement. My Father taught us better than that, though. HE is the one that made the mistake; HE is the one that did something he foolish, something he KNEW he shouldn't, had in fact done it a hundred times over. Only, that last time claimed him.
If we had sued the business where he worked, we'd probably own it now. We'd probably own the truck manufacturer. But, my Father wouldn't rest easy, and neither would us kids. He'd be disgusted with us, and that's a Fact.
I'm sorry, man. I'm just not able to come to grips with this guy injuring you, and merely walking away as if he'd run over a dog or a cat. It infuriates me that he's not able to Man-Up and take responsibility when he KNOWS that he f'cked up.
Sorry, got too preachy here.
Someone sue me.
