Would you . . .

Hearing a person say “I would take a bullet for that person” makes me actually think, would he or she really do it? Would one person really risk his or her life to save another? I may not know exactly why someone would risk his or her life for another persons, but I am willing to share some ideas. I guess the question could go two different ways. This question could also go the complete opposite, why do some people look out for themselves before others, and still keep the same answer.

I think, for certain people, this heroic action may just be a simple reflex. For example: if witnessing someone in danger, the other person may have a quick instinct to drop everything and help the person in need. Maybe the adrenaline gets to their head or they go into some sort of shock or something. Whatever it is, it must be strong considering the “hero” is completely forgetting about his or her own safety for someone else.
