    If I was in the right place, at the right time and the opportunity presented itself... yes I would risk my life to save the life of a random stranger.

    My Dear Sweet Friends,

    Yes!  We art ever giving unto strangers.  The risk of our life is not as important than serving others.  That is the purpose of our life.

    I am not sure I can answer this until an event puts me in the place. My immediate response is yes but depending on the situation is it possible I will freeze in fear..... Yes, that could very well happen. I've never been in that kind of situation. Based on how I respond to other situations, I would most likely without even thinking about it. I am one of those people who has to force themselves to say no to people while the entire time feeling the bile rise. Its a second nature. BUT like I said- I don't know how I would react to a gun going off or to hieghts since I do not care for them in the first. I hope yes. Standing by and watching others suffer causes me to suffer in a way that death would be a blessing. On the other hand- no. I hope that I am smart enough to recognize if someone else is better qualified to help then me. If I know the person standing next to me is a fire fighter, smart thing is to let them run into the burning for the child. Otherwise I might put them in a place where they have to chose saving me or the child.
    *Sigh* Who knows until it happens?
