I see where you're coming from because I do think that there is something inherent inside a person but sometimes we don't "use" it until given the opportunity. For instance, a car accident on the side of the road (which is a great example) they're given the opportunity that inherently is already inside them. Many people will pass the car accident, because maybe it's a passive situation where people are already helping them or no one's in the car. Not making excuses...because it's an interesting comparison. I also am taking this research with a grain of salt. <br><br>Thank you for weighing in! @Tony Yes, I welcome the opposing viewpoint!

We focus on the negative (news, pessimistic people, etc.) so often, that we forget there is good in the world and in people. Yes and love Kismet :) Thanks for sharing! @DeeAnne Faith is so important.

I suppose it's not all inclusive and sometimes, we can prepare ourselves but usually we don't know our power until we actually are forced to react and use it. @Royce I agree, very interesting research.

Just think of the last time you saw an accident on the freeway and just drove by (not that there's anything wrong with it since for the most part it isn't any of your business anyway)….but realize that as you drive away from it, so do countless other people.

Most likely out of dozens (or hundreds) of people who simply peer out of their car windows, there are only one or two people who would actually stop and make sure that everyone is ok.

I also believe that anyone, given the opportunity, could be a hero. I've just seen too many people act without thinking about themselves first, and dive into a situation that they could have easily walked away from. My faith in human beings is restored daily, even if we are a very imperfect lot!<br>I also LOVED that The Starfish Story came up twice for you yesterday! Kismet xoxox Hello Grace!
