[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 60483, member: 1991"] Bette, bad things happen to good people because we have free will. People are basically selfish and it is the accumulated selfishness and the things people to do one another a a result of that, which causes so much pain in the world. I became disabled because a professor where I worked was too lazy to do his job properly. He'd been playing cute little games with his employer, trying to appear incompetent so he would be freed from teaching duties, leaving him much more time to build his publishing credentials. and because of his deliberate incompetence, I had an accident which has permanently damaged my nervous system and my immune system. The fact that I had warned our employers of the risk that this man posed is not satisfaction. All I can do is recognise that bad things like this happen, because of human selfishness. No harm was intended to me, just as no harm was intended specifically to your son - just to someone unnamed and mistaken. But the harm was done and cannot be undone. We can't go back and un-ring the bell, no matter how desperately we want to. Someone is already paying for your son's death. He can never pay enough because he can never bring him back, but already he is paying, in ways we can barely imagine. I hope and pray that he will be found and caught, and made to pay in a more appropriate way. But that won't change your pain. I'm glad you're going to counselling. You really need it in so many ways.
