I used to have a co-worker and a friend--he was the nicest guy in the world. He was extremely religious and a good family man. To be honest, he did things for his children that I wouldn't do for mine. He was also very good to work with. If you needed some help, he was right there.
He only had one small character flaw, in my opinion. He loved to tailgate and it drove him nuts when someone pulled in front of him. We used to have friendly arguments about it from time to time.
One time I asked him how he would feel if his tailgating resulted in an accident and he end someone. His reponse was that it was in the hands of God and if that happened it would mean that it was their time to go. Then I asked him how he would feel if there was a fire and a little girl, for instance, was terrible disabled and burned, but survived. His answer was basically the same. He said that it was in the hands of God and if the girl suffered for a lifetime as a result of the accident, then it was God's plan to have her suffer while she was on earth.
How do you change the atbreastude of someone like that?
