Called to Care discussion

Only one of twenty lifeboats went back for survivors. Many people felt anguish and regret; others believed they had no choice. Can you picture yourself in that situation? Husbands, children in the water - what comes first, the instinct to survive or to save others? How would you hope you would act?

Very difficult to answer this one. I believe that if I am ever faced with a devastating situation like this I will rely on my instinct at that moment. Usually my instincts have worked for me. I also hope the strong presence of God will guide me. I say this as an individual not trained in life saving methods. Extremely heartbreaking if you have to choose between husband , child, mother , sister

I agree with you. It is difficult to decide whether to save yourself or someone else you love. I would hope that I would have the courage to stand up against those who were choosing not to save others in the water and do the right thing and try to save those less fortunate.
