This is going to sound harsh.

If I were doing a job like that, carrying a heavy object which really should be a two man job, forwards down a flight of stairs and had children in the house then I really would make sure the coast was clear before I started. Jesus I only have cats but I'd still make sure that they weren't around.

A preventable accident, unfortunately the guy will have to live with the guilt for the rest of his life

I'd say the same Matt. I've lugged some pretty hefty televisions around at the college, but never widescreen ones, and always walking down the stairs in such a way that I can see if there are annoying emo students moping on them and blocking the way.

I feel so sorry for them though, particularly him. I doubt that guilt is ever going to fade.

The thing is, we've all done stupid things and thought afterwards "Bloody hell, what if that happened?". Many get away with stupid things every day. I know I have done things just as stupid and dangerous as he has done and thought "I'll just get this done quickly" as we all have. This is just a case of the consequences being tragic.

Yep, it's just one of those things I guess. An accident...but avoidable. Things like this probably happen many times every year but none end up quite as tragic, especially at this time of the year just makes it worse.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
