I was on my way to work recently and stopped second in line at a red light in a busy intersection. I was listening to the Breakfast Beat Mix on First Wave when I felt a croooooosh from behind …. A pickup truck had hit and defiled my Princess Mobile!
I got out of the car, and the 20-something guy inside didn’t bother to ask if I was alright. He didn’t say he was sorry. He didn’t even get out of the car. He appeared to be high on pot, and when I pointed out what he did, his only response was, “My bad.”
He showed no remorse. No sense of responsibility. No human kindness … NOTHING!
He had no insurance or driver’s license. He seemed to have no life in him. He was like a zombie.
In the truther community, it is said that there are people without souls walking among us like zombies. While I could believe that in theory, it wasn’t until this experience that I started to believe it might be fact.
My motto in raising children and in life has always been, “You mess up, you clean up!”
I’ve written about this in The Princess Guide to Healing a Broken Heart … When you make a mistake, it’s your responsibility to make things right. You have to do whatever you can to fix the issue — be that in love or life. Self medicating, being selfish and zoning out are not options. Taking positive action is the only way.
Don’t be a zombie, and don’t enable them either!
