Got into a pretty bad wreck today and the front of my car is smashed in bad.

I’m ok except for some minor aches but I feel like an idiot. What disturbs me is my first thought after the wreck:

Man I wish I had died.

A couple of hours later, I don’t know if I still feel the same way. Right now I could be in a hospital bed with machines hooked up to me…so I’m thankful that I’m not injured. I know I should be disturbed but I just feel numb; maybe it’ll hit me later and I’ll be happy to be alive. After all, my parents would have been devastated if anything had happened.

It can be disturbing to have a death wish or suicidal thought, but you don’t have to take it seriously, it’s just a random thought, in this case obviously related to being in a suddenly crazy situation.

At least you’re still alive and you will get over whatever shock or crisis-state you might have entered into.

You just heard the “swish” of the wings of the Angel of Death.

And you have just received a reminder that you are not immortal.

Yes, it’s good to be alive . . . you know you still have a purpose on this earth.
