Nothing personal.
Nothing personal taken.

My belief, is that if I find myself in such a situation, is that I won't panic. I've been among panicking people and wondered what they were thinking. I might freeze up. Been there, done that. Horrible feeling after the fact.

Best case. I'll think "Aw $H!t", march forward, and die.

Luckily I've already lived a great life
