Have you ever thought you were directly responsible for the suffering or injury of someone close to you?

Have you ever felt responsible for someone else who got injured because of you? Was it really your fault? What happened and how was it solved?

I brought a friend to go skiing with me, but I never knew that he was that terrible! Maybe because on my first time, I had already went up the lift and through the steepest hills (scared to death, might I add, and only because I was with crazy dare devils). Anyways, I didn’t force my friend to go onto anything. I even spent the whole morning on the bunny hill with him.

I guess he felt as if he was dragging me down, and insisted that we try the lift now. I told him there was indeed an easy hill to go on.. But when we got up there, even the easy was hard for him. He kept falling every two seconds and was scared. He then took off his ski’s and started to walk down the steep hill.

Eventually he put them back on, and tried to go down through the path again… But only to become frightened and tumble head first and somehow injure his knee!!

And the rest of the story made short—> ski doo came and helped him down and then he sat in the lodge for the rest of the day.

Anyways… I feel somewhat guilty for being the one bringing him for his first time… Even though I was not the one to force him to go, because he actually was very excited to go skiing. It was his first time and most likely his last…

So, does it sound like it’s my fault? Am I partly to blame? If you don’t really have a comment about those questions, then please just share an experience of yours where you felt you were the one to blame, and what happened.

Thanks! All comments, if any, are appreciated!
