Uncle Tom,

I understand that your safety comes first, but would you sit there and watch while the boy is dying in the well? This person died while trying to save somebody else's life for God's sake. Look, I am not a firefighter but if somebody's house is burning and there is a little kid shouting for help, I wouldn't wait a bit longer but just go jump in and try to save him, not watch the little boy die. Its the same thing with everyday life. You don't expect to encounter situations like that, but when you do, heroes act to save the life, while you being a smartass as you think of your safety first, would instead watch somebody else's die. This is not to mean that there is anything wrong with that, it just means, you won't be a hero. Which is fine, because not always everybody dies a hero's death.

Take care buddy.
