decisions

The fact is that in life, there is no one right way or one wrong way. There are many ways, many decisions, many branches and many outcomes, and once we have made a decision, we move down that branch, we accept that outcome, and we carry on with life from there. No use regretting or saying 'what if' because we have no idea what would have happened if a different decision had been made.

Now that the girl had been scalded by the hot plate, the father blamed the teacher for not moving her away from the hot plate fast enough, apparently because the teacher was afraid of doing so, like in vehicular accidents where the number 1 advice is actually not to touch the injured.

Perhaps in that scenario, common sense would have told us to move the girl away as quickly as possible, but if something else had happened to her had the teacher moved her (for example, her skin got torn off), I can rest assured the father will still be raining blame on the teacher now.

Blaming cannot undo what had already happened. Its unfortunate, but life goes on.
