June 28, 2020

A great many people are in a rush – driven, often by fear, to survive, including emotionally; to find security; to succeed; to succeed more than others.

Collectively, the result is like a mob, with no individual – but everyone together – responsible for what happens: people can’t get out and away; people get pushed, shoved; people get knocked down, trampled, hurt, even killed.

Am I willing to use my life to save a life?

Am I willing to do what I can - to put my emotional and physical comfort, my security, even my life at risk - to slow down and try to calm the mob, to prevent even one other person from being trampled?

How willing am I to seek and recognize the ways in which I can do that?
