Neighborhood Watch

         Everyone wants to give that Superman answer where they say that they would rush in and try to put an end to any crime being committed . They swear that they would cease every instance of injustice in their sight . Saying that you are willing to do something with out the heat of the moment bringing sweat to your brow and armpits means nothing . Oh what I wouldn't give to be dauntless , for even a day . To have the ability to show true fearlessness and determination is something that most people chase but never catch .
         To be able and more importantly , be willing , to put yourself between another human being and a pathogen to humanity is noble to say the least . Scenarios and situations vary like Baskin Robin's ice cream flavors . It wouldn't be human to react the same way to everything that is thrown at us in life . That is where our emotions come into play , both a blessing and  a curse . All of us weren't made to be dauntless , we all weren't made to be cowards , we all vary . What good would an ice cream parlor be if it only offered one flavor ?
          It is my belief that the variety enriches out pallet , it makes life worth living . To say that if I saw a crime being committed and I could either stop it or video the event , choosing to stop it wouldn't be an option for me but neither would video taping the event . There are people in this world that would easily fall into the two categories . I , for one ,  do not . There has to be another option , if there is no room I will have to make room .  I refuse to settle for whats on my plate when there are dishes to be explored .

  1. I like how you focus on yourself and everyone as a whole based on certain behaviors and actions. Also, I like how you connect to Divergent by using the word "dauntless."
