[quote=Anonymous]I do think that your true character does come through in these situations, and he is going to have to live with knowing that his true character was not what he hoped it would be.  That is probably punishment enough, as everybody believes they would do the brave thing (that old saying about how if everyone who claims they fought in the Resistance actually did there would have been no Holocaust at all).

I am a person who reacts well in crisis situations, but I don't really think I can take credit for it.  I have quick reflexes and I go toward a conflict rather than away from it, even when the smart thing might be not to.  Someday I might end up drowning trying to save someone in a flooded river and then people will be asking why I didn't just stay on the shore and call 911.  Which is to say, sometimes giving up your life seems brave and sometimes it seems stupid.  If I were the mother of a guy who died trying to save a girlfriend, I might be wishing he'd put himself first right now.

The bigger point, though, is that that guy did not shoot his girlfriend in the leg nor did he throw tear gas at her.  He reacted in a bad situation and will live with that for the rest of his life.[/quote]
