Are you ever moving along in life, and suddenly a shocking revelation comes to you that makes you think twice about something? Today, my roommate showed me a video that was a series of clips of people getting into car wrecks. Some of them were real, and some of them were enactments. The enactments not only showed the accidents, but the consequences of the accidents for all parties involved. In fact, here it is (be warned that this video is pretty hardcore and possibly depressing.)

It's only been a little over a year since I was in a car wreck that involved another moving vehicle, a stop sign, and a parked car. Luckily, no one was seriously hurt, but had anyone been standing on the sidewalk next to the sign I crashed into, or in that parked car... I thank God that nobody was, and am much more careful as a result. So much changed in a few seconds anyway, but it could have been much worse. We tend to take things for granted, and our actions could cause something terrible to happen if we're not careful. So I guess be aware is my general thought, and don't become too complacant. Think about it. This isn't necessarily just about driving, either. Anyhoo...
