Wow, I think I’d have a strong case of survivor’s guilt after that ordeal.
Ethiopians are very good distance runners.
Never feel guilty for the bullet that missed you........
I was flying home one evening in the late 1977. I was seated next to a woman. We didn’t say much but as we went into final approach, the woman, still not speaking, reached out and grabbed my hand. I was sure what was going on but I figured she needed something so I said nothing.
As we were taxing out she turned to me and thanked me for letting her hold my hand. That day there had been a terrible crash between two fully loaded 747s in the
Canary Islands. The crash killed 583 of the 644 people aboard. If she had not missed her flight, she would have been on one of those 747s. I’m glad I could help.
Not me. I would have a strong sense of thankfulness, joy, , good luck, not wasting my future, etc. But not a shred of guilt! Is he supposed to feel guilty he didn’t die in something he would have had no chance in preventing?
