This is going to sound all "woo-woo" and new-agey, but the more I think about this and talk about it with people and read your responses, the more I am afraid of the kind of "energy" a lawsuit would put out there. I'm committed to spreading compassion and love, and I don't think this lawsuit would further that commitment. I just see it as small and petty and an example of the kind of "eye-for-an-eye" self-interested mentality that makes me so sad about our society. I think I've come to decision that I'll discourage my family from pursuing this. What they ultimately decide to do is up to them, but I know now how I feel about this. Thank you.
On a related note, I would rather have the person who hit Josh know who he was and think of him, and us his family, with love and compassion rather than with guilt and anger. Does anybody know how I would I go about contacting him? I don't think his name/address was in the police report. Could I send something to the police and have them forward it?
