And then, I went and did whatever I was supposed to do. I always wanted a heroic death. If there was a hostage situation, and the gunman said "I'll let 10 of you go, if one of you sacrifices himself", I think I'd do it.......but first, he'd have to let me have sex with the hottest woman there (and she'd have to be pretty hot!). I have a kid, though. A lot of my recklessness is gone. Still, I'd like to think I'd do it. |
I think what I said above about public servants best continuing to serve through their survival holds here.
I would not begrudge anyone the choice of giving their life for someone else's - of course I wouldn't. There is nobility in that, even if all you seek is a heroic death. But to decide that for someone else? I couldn't live with myself.
