Because people who think "this only affects me" often overlook the large impact their actions have on others who they clearly aren't considering. Looking through the woods for missing body parts after a crash sorta makes me sensitive about seatbelts. And don't get me started on suicides...Quote:

They found their supplies elsewhere, and when driving impaired, wrecked. Her seatbelt broke and she went through the windshield and died. He was stopped by the steering wheel and charged with his girlfriends death. That was the start of what would eventually make me a non drinker.
And on a positive note, you can't tell how that will have an affect on others lives (their families, those left behind, etc).Quote:

saw in the obits today that two acquaintances, younger than me and both on the side of thin, died of covid 19. They were never known to wear masks....
