There is no me without you

So how does it happen that - while most people instinctively try to save themselves and their families from a catastrophe - a few slow down, look back, and suddenly reach out to strangers? Instead of fleeing in the opposite direction, a few wade into the rising waters to try to yank the drowning onto higher land.

Ok...not that I am stalking you or anything but I was looking through your old posts and came across this and was like "Holy Crap!" Cuz I posted this on your site not too long ago.....I don't remember you posting this before so it is random coincidence or did i subconsciously put this in the back of my mind and then find it in the book over a year later to post on your blog???? Hmmm????
