So earlier today I was sitting at a red light when a giant tow truck decided to rear end my sedan at full speed, even though the light was still red...
The driver ending up swerving at the last second and clipped the back-right of my vehicle, causing him to spin out at the intersection ahead of me...but in the process he blew out my back windshield and demolished the back-right and the back-side areas of my car. If he would've hit me another 5 feet or so to the left, I would've been crushed to death. Miraculously, I came out of the vehicle unharmed.
Am I considered lucky to be alive even though he ruined my night and made my car completely inoperable?
So many thoughts and questions are racing through my head now as a result of almost experiencing death such as all of my regrets that I've ever had in life.....like what if I did this, or what if I did that...or....was I being protected?.....or....why did i waste half of my life doing x y and z if im just going to end up dying at a moment's notice?....or thinking about all the people who would've attended my funeral....or...where would i have gone if I died?.... etc etc
I feel like this event was some type of catalyst for me to have a transformative perspective on life and death and what really matters and to not let the little things bother me.
Is there any significance to this?
Is there only significance to this if I give it significance?
