friends who died at an early age died as a result of

drinking alcohol and driving a car, not warfare. In

most cases, they also were not wearing a seat belt.
Of course, they did have an excuse as most cars

had no seat belts in the 1960s. But today, always

wear your seat belt. Accidents do not announce
themselves in advance. You never know when an

accident may suddenly happen. They appear out of

the blue in an instant. Stay away from the alcohol,
particularly when driving. And always wear that

seat belt. When people are killed in car accidents,

they often are not wearing a seatbelt. Princess
Diana was rich and famous and beautiful. But she

rode in a speeding car driven by a driver who had

consumed alcohol. She was killed in the crash.
Sometimes it takes a single mistake to end your

dreams and even your life. And the mistakes were
the driver’s not even hers.

Many of the people who make mistakes and

go to jail or prison made their mistakes while under

the influence of alcohol or drugs. It might be as
high as 75% of those who commit crimes and get

convicted. Alcohol and drugs both lead to poor
decisions.
