But I'm not willing to sacrifice a life, especially a life other than my own. (I'd be willing to risk my own life to help others, but if the outcome was known to be certain death for me I really don't know what I would do.) |
Ok, I see. Fair enough. I do not agree at all but I understand.
Death, for me, is part of life. When death is certain the decisions become easy. It is when it is not clear that separates the men from the boys. I have changed my opinion on this lately too, when a person runs away I do not judge them as cowards, they did what they had too. I will stand alone. Yes, I have, and paid dearly. The pain is still with me after so many years, but it is worth it.
