Those Who Help

 There are many people who go above and beyond in a moment of crisis. There are some people who will do anything in their power to help those in need. These people are seen in many situations. They can be firefighters, policemen, doctors and military personnel and then there are others who have a more subtle impact. Everybody helps in their own way no matter what is at stake. People save others lives at the risk of their own life because they can. I think that they do this because they have the ability and the want to help people. In a time of crisis these people are relied on to make things happen and they embrace that. There are people who will ask no questions when a stranger is in trouble and they will help right away. They put themselves out there to help others because it is what they can do for the world and that is what they choose to do with their lives. This path is not for everybody though. There are only so many people who can put their own life on the line for others. I do not think this is a selfish thing. A normal person runs from flames, firefighters run to them. Not everybody can be expected to do that and they should not be considered cowardly. There are only a select few that can put self preservation behind them and risk their own lives. The people who take care of themselves first are at least taking care of themselves. They are not making a bigger problem which is actually quite helpful. I find that admirable because in a crisis many go into panic mode. So there are those who help others and those who help themselves. Both types of people are crucial in any situation.
