I Guess I Would Be Sunk

Even if I had enough crap stored up to take care of myself during whatever doomsday scenario....which I won't, because I'm not into that....I'm all for the idea of gardening, raising livestock, hunting, fishing etc....I even like to can foods and make pickles....I think THAT part of it is cool....and I'm interested in solar power, wind power, herbal remedies, etc, etc.

It's the idea that if a friend, neighbor, or stranger, even....comes to my house sick, wounded, or starving....I'm NOT going to point a gun at them and tell them I don't care. I'm not going to do any of those things. I am going to help them. I am going to bring them in, and take care of them.

We might have to keep things lean for awhile, and sharpen our hunting and foraging skills. Or if it comes down to it, I would rather starve in half the time, knowing I helped someone, than to die alone, knowing I was a selfish monster, and still dying all the same.

I couldn't point a gun at someone and tell them to leave, especially someone bleeding, or starving to death. Only circumstances decide which of us is on which side of the gun....so, no. It could be me, or my kids, and I'd want someone to help if the situation were reversed.

At some point, when you stop caring about anyone else, you kind of lose what it means to be human IMO.
