I have come to conclusion that it is when the chips are down you truly see who people really are. Will they step up and step in? Will they stand in the sidelines and be an observer? Will they shy away in fear? It's strange how devastating and horrible situations bring out the best and the worst in people. I think that these are things that everyone "knows", but you don't truly realize it until you, yourself, are personally thrown into that type of situation. It makes you a stronger person.
