Hit and Run

I was out on the road and saw this thing moving and the closer I got to it, the more I figured that it had to be some kind of animal. It was a cat who looked like he had been hit by a car, but was struggling trying to get up. He was trying to do what he used to do with ease before he was hurt. He was probably able to leap and jump and run with no problem, but not now. I knew that it was bad. I went out another hour out and finally came back and expected this cat to be dead. He somehow had managed to get off of the road, but I knew that there was very little chance of him living. His instincts were probably kicking in, but he just couldn't do it. I don't have a cat, but I think that he probably belonged to someone and they would be missing him. Every life is valuable to someone even if you don't know who that cat is. When we get hit on the highway of life emotionally, our instincts may kick in and think that we can get back up quickly again. It could be a romantic, financial, or friendly relationship and you've gotten hit on the road. It is not always good to get back up and act like you haven't taken a potentially fatal blow. Don't get bitter if you've had a hard hit and may be limping. You are important even if that person who hit you has run on with their life. Instinctively, you may want to get up and do what you have always done but you need to pull over and get some help. Learn how to let it go and live your life to the fullest. Your life is valuable and someone is concerned about you.
