Lately, I have had a large amount of time alone, and also time with people I love being around. I love driving long-distances alone, and with other people. After driving to and from Elgin, I got in the car with my brother and dad. I love talking with them, but their opirom nions are so different from mine that it gets overwhelming to talk to them sometimes.
We were talking about the NIU shooting, and what we would do in that situation. I felt like everyone in the room was only thinking about themselves by just running for their own lives. It made me wonder if someone could have knocked the guy out from behind and saved him, the kids in the room, and the strife of many others. My brother thinks that in situations like that we, as humans, are unable to make those decisions and just act to save ourselves out of instinct. For me, it is hard to believe that we can't choose wrong from right even in difficult situations. Especially difficult situations.
Maybe I can't speak because I have never been through that. But, if Jesus risked everything to save us, I feel like we would need to do the same if that kind of situation happened.
