how far is heaven

pathetic. my joy doesn't even last for 2 days. and i've been thinking about something on my way home tonight.

when something happens, like a car accident.
and the scenerio is like this:
A lady and her friend decided to jaywalk. the lady gets knocked down by a motorist, and the friend with her was perfectly okay. the thing is that it happened too fast for the friend to warn her. and lady herself was distracted, otherwise she would've seen the motorbike. the motorist didn't mean for it to happen and he did try to brake. but everything happened real fast. and the lady died.

whose fault is it? could it be the lady's fault? could it be the friend's fault? or is it solely the motorist's fault? or rather, whose responsibility is it? probably the lady's own responsibility. why? because it's her life she decided to risk, and she wasn't paying attention. but when we talk about fault, which everyone loves to point a finger at others for, it's quite unclear. couldn't be the lady's fault - she's the victim. but she jaywalked. could be the friend's fault - hello? just scream for your friend is that so difficult? but friend was probably slow in reaction. could be the motorist's fault - he was the killer, accident or not. but he was probably innocent as well... he was just riding on the road, he didn't break any rules. could be the LTA's fault - couldn't they just make more zebra crossings?

okay, the point is, when we talk about fault in any issue, it seems totally strange. cos finger-pointing happens and everyone is reasonable. which means only one thing... everyone's at fault. yet, nobody runs away from responsibilities. so who is responsible? probably the lead in the story. cos everything is because of her/him.

but sometimes the person with the responsibility don't know what to do, you see... in the context of the accident, the lady's already dead. what else can she do?
