Can you imagine what it feels like to indirectly or accidently cause permanent damage to another human being?

I just found out that an Atlanta Braves coach has lost an eye due to a player’s fouled ball during a spring training game.

This is terrible news and got me thinking about how I would feel if I was the player that hit that ball.

Could you imagine how he feels and what must be going through his mind? Even though it was an indirect situation, I couldn’t imagine how I would deal with it. It wasn’t his fault, but he did cause it.

Have you ever been in this type of situation? What happened and how did you manage through it?

If you haven’t, how would you think you would deal with such a predicament? What would you say to or do for the affect person? What emotion would you go through? What effect would this have on one’s psyche?

Let’s hear some stories and your thoughts on the subject…
