Not at all rushing into gun barrels?<p>What gives, man?<p>&gt; I&#x27;m assuming you&#x27;ve never had a helpless moment where you truly felt powerless. In that moment, even death seems preferable to a life where you are helpless.<p>Don&#x27;t extrapolate yourself to others. I have been in that situation, more than once, and it only ever imbued me with a ferocious will to live.
