musings of wrath

Today marks the anniversary of the day three heroes lost their lives for something they believed in - the Apollo space program.

Wish I could say the same.

Ever back down on something you believe in to save your own neck?

luckily not everyone has ever been in a life or death situation.

Yep! Women!

In all seriousness though, there are times in which retreat is a better option. Living to fight another day isn’t ALWAYS a bad thing. This is not to belittle what they died for or why they died or despite that they were heroes.

It all depends on the situation. And I wouldn’t say that everyone that backs down from what they believe in just to save themselves… is choosing the wrong thing. There are times to make a stand. And times to back down. If you’re always doing one choice and never the other… something’s probably wrong.

woot. exactly, both of you.

that was my point. thanks, shooman.

At about the time you wrote this, I had said in fact to my friend, I dont remember much about the conversation, but I said “Yeah, at one point I wanted to be an astronaut when I was little… until I saw that shuttle explode in 1988, and even at that age my first reaction was ‘Maybe construction workers have cool jobs too’ Lifes too fuckin short to do dumb shit.”
