In the face of the looting and shootings, crime and choas, I often wonder what extreme circumstances would cause me to do.
I am certain I wouldn't be heading into Best Buy and taking laptop computers, or into a jewelry store to grab some diamonds. But would I steal water to get my child a clean drink of water or something to eat? Absolutely. I have never known true desperation, and desperate circumstances cause people to do desperate things.
What am I capable of? What would I be willing to do to survive? I hope I never have to answer those questions.
