value of a selfish life

I learned this weekend to never let some one you hardly know to make a decision for you that you should make on your own. Okay, truth be told, I have always known that. It is a basic rule that everyone knows. I am old enough to know I can and should make my own decisions, but that does not mean I always listen to will. It is like saying “I should go work out tonight and not eat that Butterfinger bar,” but well I know that I am more likely to give into temptation then to actually do something that will benefit myself in the long run. It is not because I do not care for myself it is because I want pleasure now. I am an impatient person and well I guess you could say I am selfish. So this weekend I decided to let some one make a decision for me when I knew better. The decision was to get into a car with a driver that had been drinking, and because I was selfish and wanted to stay with this person and hang out with them for the rest of the night we got into the car and started driving home. On the way home a couple was crossing the street and the driver was looking down, I screamed at him to stop but it was too late. We hit the couple, and he did not even realize it! I yelled at him to pull over and he did. The couple was pronounced dead the next day around noon time. This is something I will remember for the rest of my life, the fact that I was selfish enough to want to get to a destination with some guy took the life of two people. This did not really happen, but if it did, I would feel like a bitch. So do not drink and drive, because if you do, you are a selfish bitch.
