forget it.

Let's pose a hypothetical situation.

You're in your car driving down a road at night coming back from some outing at a shopping complex. Suddenly out of nowhere a drunk driver speeding crashes right into your car at the passenger's side.

Your car is crushed beyond recognition but you're still alive. You crawl out of the car using only the strength of one hand seeing as your other looks like it's in a funny position. As you reach for your handphone to call a family member you also realise that your back seems to be getting wetter and wetter with the blood that's spilling out of your head. You call your mother. No answer. So you have no choice but to call your father to come help.

He picks up the phone and you try to tell him in as little words as possible your situation cause you feel yourself getting short of breath. Now it's his turn to reply.

Which reply to you think is more realistic?

"I know you're not okay but everything's going to be fine. I'll rush over there as fast as I can."

or

"WHAT!!! YOU CRASHED THE CAR! Do you know how much that car costs? Does it look like it's possible to get the car fixed cause I'm not forking out any more money to get you another car."




Not sure bout you people out there. But I am positive I know which is more realistic for me.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality.

Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see.

Nothing really matters, anyone can see.
Nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me.
