She was a hero. The rest of you, not so much.
Hear hear Chainmail.
“Fun reading all the comments by the “Couch Potato Wussie” brigade: adventure has risks and this lady lost her life saving another.
She was a hero. The rest of you, not so much”.
Right on!!
Well I’ve saved a daughter and a dog from death.
If you have no one relying on you in life (wife, kids, elderly parents,etc.) then serve yourself with pride.
I was raised around cattle and horses, and at 19 decided to ride a bull at a rodeo. My dad said all of the rodeo events have a connection with actual working with cattle and horsemanship, except one: bull riding. That just gladiator stuff.
After that (very short) ride, and running from the beast, I realized 2 things: Dad was right, and that I didn’t want to go through life with permanent injuries just because I needed to feel I was doing something not many people dare to do.
I’ve been able to run and play with my kids and grandkids. I would hated myself if I wrecked any chance to do that because of needing to get some thrill from danger.
May the woman RIP.
