In 95% of drunk driving accident cases, the drunk survives with minor injuries while the sober people (in drunk driver's car or the other car) die or get major injuries.
In olden times, when people traveled in carriages at night, the carriage often got stuck in a canal or rut and it would topple. It was observed that the drunk people in the carriage seldom got a scratch while the sober got injuries.
Why does it happen?
The drunk losses control on his body and wherever the car topples or turns, there is no RESISTANCE from the drunk's body. This is the reason of his survival. The sober tries to resist, tries to control too much; in this process he breaks his bones, gets his muscles pulled and gets serious injuries.
Now apply this funda in real life. The more we try to control life, the more it injures us. The more we LET GO, the more we are with the flow of life, the easier the life gets. Trust in God's plan. The more we resist, the more it persists.
Remember the dialog from Kungfu Panda 1?
Oogway to Shifu: "My old friend, the panda will never fulfill his destiny, nor you yours, until you let go of the illusion of control."
Shifu: "illusion?"
Oogway: "Yes. Look at this tree, Shifu. I cannot make it blossom when it suits me, nor make it bear fruit before its time."
Shifu: "But there are things we can control. I can control when the fruit will fall. (Peach falls and hits Shifu's head. lol) And I can control......where to plant the seed. That is no illusion, Master."
Oogway: "Yes. But no matter what you do that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach."
