Would I risk my Life?

Many sacrifice their lives for complete strangers. Why? I think many people sacrifice their lives because they feel like it is the right thing to do. I think they feel like it is the right thing to do because if they did not then they would have to live with the " what if's ". That is probably worse than dying.
I have talked to my mom about this because I was having trouble writing this paper. My mom thinks it is absolutely crazy to die for somebody you do not know. My opinion however, think giving my life for somebody would be probably one of the greatest honors.
I am the type of persont that if I see somebody hurting I have to help them. So if giving my life helped them then that is something I would give up. If I was walking past a house and I saw somebody in toruble like a couple fighting and a weapon was pulled out I would be there in an instant trying to help fix things. I have always been the person to try to fix things.
I think it is different for police officers and firefighters. They risk their lives because it is for the people of their country. That would be their pride part of it. Firefighters and Police Officers protect people not only because it is their occupation. They protect people because they want people to be protected and for no harm to be done. I think not just anybody can be a Police Officer or Firefighter, somebody trying for that occupation has to genuinely want to help and care for people.
I no doubt would give my life for somebody. Now there is only one question that YOU can answer. Would YOU risk your life for someone?
