Accidents

Accidentally I came into this world. Yep, I am one of those "OOPS" babies. I don't really think anyone considered putting me up for adoption, but I wasn't able to hear the conversations following the diagnosis of  "positive for pregnancy" either. So, I can't be sure of that, but I am reasonably certain I was a welcomed baby based on the stories I hear about my early life. My sister and brother were less than excited about me, but coming out looking like my mom was a good plan. Or was that an accident?  I don't know, but lucky one for me, if it was.

Life is unpredictable and accidents happen daily. I never meant to spill anything in my life, but with hindsight, I know that not paying attention to what I am doing caused almost every spill for which I have been responsible. So accidentally spilling things is actually an example of carelessness.  Which I believe explains a lot of accidents.

Car accidents are almost always carelessness on someone's part. Some, of course, are road conditions or medical emergencies or other unforeseen or uncontrollable issues, but many of them are simply not seeing, not taking enough time, not paying attention or not having enough experience behind the wheel. Someone pulls out in front of you, you hit them. Why? Were you driving too fast to stop? Or were you just thinking of other things and didn't notice the car begin to proceed in your path? We don't have a rewind in our real life, so we can't ever be sure. 

I'm not sure I believe in 'accidents' at all. I prefer to think that all things happen as they should. That's just me.
