If accident occur, who take the damage? You or your partner?

Imagine that you are driving your car with your significant other sitting next to you. It is a lovely day and everything feels so good until a lorry crash into your car. At the very moment the lorry crash into you, you can either steer your wheel this way so that you take most of the hit or you can steer your wheel the other way round so that it is your partner to take the hit. (Sorry, either one of you have to suffer more in this case) Which will you choose? If you get the hit, your partner is likely to suffer less pain but you are most likely to suffer serious damage, maybe loss of arms or legs and possibly can't manage your life on your own. No question that you will need somebody to look after you and that means if your partner love you deep enough, he/she will have to look after you, bear all the pressure and problem of taking care of your living. If you let your partner to get the hit, it would be you to take care of him for the rest of the life and he/she will have his/her life ruined. While his/her life is ruined, at least he/she will be receiving the love from you and being taken care of well (suppose you would continue love him/her) rather than having to do all the hard work of taking care of you. So, would you choose to be the one suffer all the pain and let your partner take care of you? Or you would let him/her to suffer the pain and then you take care of him/her?

I will accept to suffer because I will never accept to see him suffer because of me. And if I was driving the car then it will be the least thing to do by hurting him. I won't be able to see him everyday suffering because of me. "It is the worst thing in life to see someone cry because of you and it is the best moment in life to see someone cry for you! So i will definitely not allow the situation to be against him. I will accept to suffer all my life for my mistake and prevent him from paying from my mistakes.

Thanks for your reply. While you take the hit means you suffer more damages, it is not that he/she will not suffer. It is just a different way. He/she will have to suffer taking care of you especially if you cannot handle your own. In fact he/she may have to suffer more by having to take care of somebody who cannot handle your own.

Still I will want him to suffer less compare to my suffering with the car accident. I can find someone or a nurse to get me well but I cannot see him suffering because of my mistake as I said above.

First advice I will give you to do a prayer before going out of the house for your own safety and the safety of your friend. Prevention is better than cure, so concentrate on your way while driving so that neither you nor your friend has to suffer. either you get hit or your friend you will both suffer the same amount morally. Physical injuries may heel but moral injuries stays for a long time.

Thanks for your reply. Accident is something unexpected or otherwise they are not called accident. You can be obeying the law and be faithful to your religion and still some other people will just crash into you indifferently. I mean there are car accidents happening everyday. It is unlikely that they have prayed to have an accident, are they?

Thanks for your reply but you haven't answered my question. I know you two will take care of each other. What I do want to know is that if it is not avoidable, is it you or your other partner to suffer the bigger damage?
