When I was a college student, i was of radical thoughts like I can change the society. I used to be a member of a students union where we took oath to change the society and uproot its evils. When I passed out and started working....yeah that was the accident for me....I started thinking otherwise. I became verymuch like what i used to hate when in college. After college life has shown me a lot, it has shown me how people fall into circumstances so much so that they could never come out. I have felt what is it like when you want to do something else and the society forces you to do somthing that you hate. I have realised that It is not the welfare of the world but the happiness of family and parents that matters more than anything.
I have realized that this world is a big spider web and the society itself is the spider, it eats you up so that you can not raise your voice against the evils in the society.

Two years ago, my best friend (we'd been friends for 12 years) J died. He had an enlarged heart. Me and my boys were freaking out, not only were we in disbelief, but what if it had been drugs or alcohol that had killed him? I mean, all of us messed around with that stuff all the time. It was kind of the "football thing" to do. From that moment on, I swore off drugs and alcohol. At first it was difficult. I lost my best friend and what felt like all my good times.
Thank God that his tox reports came back negative. He had died of natural causes. The night he had died, he only drank the equivalent of maybe half a beer and had done no drugs. Some of my boys have jumped back on doing the "football thing." But I haven't. What if something were to happen to me and my parents would have to know it was drugs or alcohol that made it happen. Partying just isn't the same without J anyway.
His death actually made me change my life around. I learned that everyone in my life could just be gone the next day. I've stopped partying (at least with drugs and alcohol). I go to Church every week. I've also got a much closer relationship with my friends and family. And since stopping the drugs/alcohol, my football game is even better.

Yeah! Growing up I was fascinated by war, danger, particularly bloody periods of history - I thought it was all exciting and just didn't get a grasp on the death bit. I especially loved the Holocaust (how awful is that sentence, eh?)
Then, in 8th grade, I read "Night" by Eli Wiesel - an absolute life-changing few hours. Suddenly war and death wasn't just romantic anymore; for the first time it was actually real. I think I became a lot more compassionate and a lot more grown up then, very quickly.
Good question!

Yeah i was in a car crash that a friend was killed in, i suffered what they call survivor guilt and had a really rough time for a few years and went into self destruct mode as i felt i was to blame, started using drugs etc but there came a time when i realised i wasnt and pulled myself together and am at uni now i dont know how its changed my life but i know it has made me appreciate life more and not to fall out with people over stupid things and also to appreciate how easy it is for people to fall into a self destruct pattern through guilt and to not judge others for the things they do wrong.
