My first and last fight
It was my second year of 'big school' and I'm sat in a Geography class, I loved Geography back then and still do.

The lesson was being ruined by Stuart who was sat behind me, he kept shoving his desk forward so it slammed into the back of my chair.

It pissed me off, words were exchanged resulting in an agreement to have a fight at afternoon break.
At break-time we found a quiet area, it was so quiet that the fight lasted most of the break.

Eventually we were stopped, both of us battered an bruised were marched off to the headmaster.
After a telling off we both knew it wasn't over so we agreed to fight again the next day.

It never happened, Stuart was hit by a car on his way home, he died on the road outside the School

I've never had a fight in the 24 years that have passed.

and still feel guilty now.

i fail to see how you can feel guilty
for fighting a bloke just before he died, when he was the reason you got into the fight in the first place.

you couldn't have known he was going to die, neither could he. he was being a prick in the class, had he not been you wouldnt have fought.

unless you were driving the car that killed him, distracting him in such a way that he didnt see the car, or totally hindering any efforts to revive him on the tarmac, i don't see where the guilt comes from.

There's nothing logical about guilt though, especially about a death,
and you can't reason it away.

Agreed
