When I got in my car today, I turned off my cell phone. I didn’t want to be distracted.
I read that using your cell phone while driving is like drinking and driving. I’m smarter than that.
Because I turned off my phone, I saved someone’s life. Now I don’t have to spend the rest of my life remembering the day I killed someone. Now I don’t have to cry myself to sleep thinking about the suffering I caused another family. A family that would miss their loved one every day. I don’t have wake up every morning and recall that my silly obsession with phone calls and text messages caused another human being to perish.
