16. there are people and situations

where no thought is required or needed when acting. to protect those you love or whatever situation might require the 'ultimate sacrifice' it is an auto-response, imo.

it is nice to see you. :hug:

I would choose her over me, but I cannot see a situation where escape for both of us would not be an available option. It would be as horrible for her to survive alone as it would be for me.

39. I would willingly give my life to help or save any number of people.

The bar is lower for a core group of friends. I'd risk my life even if they were seriously threatened.

The bar is higher for acquaintences and strangers. I'd be willing to risk my life in some situations, but I'd need to be more sure of the need.

Not that it's a real issue. I'm so physically disabled, what the hell could I do?

Some of you might understand, I'd be least likely to risk my life for most of the people in my own family. They're on their own. I might send flowers afterward. Maybe.

55. At several times in my life I would have answered a resounding yes.

Miss Frodo is the only thing left to make me answer yes again. When I took her birding with me I would have used my body to shield her from any predator. Love that Featherhead. I'm a slave to my parrot.

I would die for a loved one. I would die for a family member. I would die for a friend. I would die to save the life of a complete stranger. I would die to protect the foundations this country was built on. If I could give my life so that others could life/thrive/save the world and or future, I would do it.

Also, I would die for GrovelBot.
