One in particular has always stuck in my mind. A young woman, a reporter, was on the street and running as one of the towers collapsed. Hysteria was rampant and people were jostling and pushing one another in their effort to get away from the fallout. She was in heels and she either tripped, or was pushed, and she fell. People literally ran over her, but one man stopped, picked her up, carried her with him over to a building and pressed her against it, covering her with his body. He protected her against the blast of the building's fallout. A complete stranger, a man who was also fleeing and fearing for his life, but he stopped and did what a true man, a gentleman, a decent human being does. He saved her life when other men trampled her. She didn't get his name, but she said that he was wounded by flying pieces of debris lodging in his back, arms and legs as he covered her with his body. She had scrapes and cuts on her hands and knees, and bruises from where people had stepped on her, but she survived because a complete stranger did the noble and right thing. He exercised what I feel is the epitome of chivalry. <br /><br />Anyone who considers such an act to be offensive needs therapy. I will always remember that unnamed man and I say prayers for him regularly. His parents raised a beautiful human being.<br /><br />Perhaps this comment doesn't directly address what you're discussing here. Maybe it does. It's the first thing that came to mind, so I shared it.<br /><br />- DawnieHealing Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236609802381940498noreply@blogger.com
