Was his decision to take the boat to dinner a mistake? No. A decision? Yes
Was his decision to leave the accident when clearly he knew he hit another boat? No. A decision? Yes
The decisions he made and decisions we all make have their consequences.
As we all go through life we make decisions every day. Every decision we make has a consequence. As we make those decisions we consider the consequence. In this case he made the wrong decision not considering the consequence.
Do I feel sorry for him? No.
Do I feel sorry for his family? Yes. But his family suffering is only one aspect of the consequence for HIS decision.
