Appreciation of basic human decency...

[miss_breeziness]

It's important to deliberately remind ourselves of the good in people, because it often gets lost among the news media reports of every horrible thing ever done by human beings (and even some that were not done by human beings).

For your daily dose of basic human decency, Classically Liberal reports a touching story in which bystanders rushed in

Thanks for posting that.

I think we would all want to have the courage of those firefighters, as well as the bystanders who rushed in, at that time.

Indeed. I often ask myself, when I see stories like this, what would I do? Would I behave the way I'd like to believe I would behave?

The story of heroism that stands out most, and makes me ask the most questions about myself, was the story of Liviu Lebrescu, the professor who died saving his students during the Virginia Tech shoot-out.

Yes, I would like to think I'd be willing to die to protect my students from something like that too...but in reality I'm a coward. :D
