This will not happen to me.

Just today I saw a report on the Tv about a horrible road accident. The whole family went under the truck while passing the road. The mother was nine months pregnant, her belly squashed in the accident, and the child was delivered over the road.

Can you believe that? Doesn't it sound like a horror movie?

I'm feeling really unsettling after watching the news. All I could think is, this could be me. Yes, I know we all like to fantasize about certain situations but on the other hand, deep inside we believe this will never be 'me'. We always like to believe that will never happen to us, right?

That family must think that as well.

Nothing is in our hands.

We can change our life for sure but we can't guarantee. Just a few days ago I have shared I'm going through some crisis as well which I never thought I would. But see, I have nothing to do with it rather have to think of ways to go through the situation. Yes, I know, the family who died in the accident today, their situation is much different from mine, maybe from you.

But we are all the same.

There are ups and downs.

We never know what will happen.

We only can do our best and expect to happen what we want.

But there's no guarantee.

And that's the truth.

I was talking about this with my mom the other day. She was furious when she got to know my thought process. Maybe I'm becoming a sadist or I don't know, maybe I'm a realist that's why. So what I said to my mom is, that there's no guarantee that I would live until her age, as gracefully, without having much trouble like a health crisis or financial instability. I don't know, I always feel like something will happen and that would take away my happiness.

That's why I feel the pressure to learn to build my happiness with nonmaterialistic things. It's like a backup plan that would help me, probably. But there's no guarantee.

Well, this thought process is messed up; I know. But I can't help myself but think about the odd things. Like the people in the war zone, they never thought they would die like this, they will lose their family or live a life like this...

This will not happen to me and some bad things will happen to me - I'm trying to find a peaceful ground in between.

This is so sad! Is the baby fine or it died too? Bad things are really happening and all I can ever do is pray that it doesn't happen to me or anyone around me. Really sad news😢

Fortunately, the baby is fine, many are willing to help her and for adoption as well. Yes, we only can pray for the best.

It's a miracle how the baby is alive. They were really fast in bringing it out. I just hope the baby gets adopted to a good family

I heard about the accident... people are saying how miraculous it is that the baby was alive... they don't say how harsh it will be for the baby to grow up without parents

The baby was miraculous, no doubt. But as a mom, I was also thinking the same, how her life would be without both of her parents.
The good thing is, that many are showing interest and her family is willing to not give her up for adoption.
We can only pray for her best.

So what I said to my mom is, that there's no guarantee that I would live until her age, as gracefully, without having much trouble like a health crisis or financial instability.

This is true, it could happen to me, or to others all around us. The reality is, that nothing is certain.

That's what I feel. I feel blessed that my mom came through a long way and I pray for her long life.
Yes, nothing is certain. We must act accordingly.

I think everybody is lost. My concern is why the accident occurred? When will we realize? The future is more than uncertain. Accident occurs everyday. Drivers can bribe to get a license and 80% of the trucks don't have it. Accident occurs, news coverage, sympathy on post and it's lost. I can also blame myself for this death as I am not the citizens I need to be.

Things happen. Especially in a country like ours, you can blame millions, even yourself but there will be very little change.
Maybe not an accident, there are so many other things that can happen to us. Nothing in our hands.
We must do our best, that's it.

To be honest now a days nobody cares. We have been like this so long that now we are comfortable with all of this terrible things. Most of the Trucks in Bangladesh don't have any license let alone the drivers. That's make them untraceable.
