It’s fucking hard. Bc I have to be willing to lay down my life, which is admittedly privileged, when I don’t see enough comrades willing to do the same. I’m hardwired for survival, not sacrifice.
This is the hard part for me. I would willingly lay down my own life, but I cannot ask those I love to risk their lives or comfort.
Though even typing that sentence, there does come a point when they would have neither and my action to defend what we believe in, may just preserve life and comfort for them.
I hope it doesn’t come to having to make that choice and if the time arrives I will need to have that conversation. I don’t want to watch them suffer knowing I could have done something and didn’t.

Same. None of us can know what we would do when put into these conditions, especially if you have children.
