I wanna dabble a little on the subject of mind vs. body. We know for a solid fact that the mind and body are connected. Body feeds information (touch, smell, sound) to the mind, mind processes, body reacts accordingly. Often times, we choose not to do things that incite pain upon ourselves. So what happens when the body and mind suddenly disagree on something in grave times? Do you listen to morals, or do you survive? This is where it turns into that whole muscle memory vs. morals thing.
Say you're running from the cops or from a group of people that you and your friends got into it with. Either way, you're getting hurt if they catch you, possibly worse. Your friend trips over something and falls, only to injure themselves pretty badly. You stop mid-run to check on them, but the opps are getting closer. Your body jerks, like it's trying to run in the opposite direction, but you remain frozen. Not exactly helping your friend, but not running yet either. You're processing, even if it's only for a few seconds before you actually react (physically) to the situation. That's exactly what it feels like when your body and mind argue on a decision. Self preservation trying to outweigh the need to be a good person, or the "hero", and vice-versa.
But what about the worse situations?
What happens when you're a 24 year-old corporate office worker living their best life with a decent salary, starting with a clean slate, and the building begins to collapse in on everyone on a Tuesday morning? A slab of ceiling plummets to the desk beside you, belonging to an older coworker in his late 50s. He walks with a moderate limp and uses a cane. Around you, everyone is panicking to get to the elevator, but it doesn't work. The power is now out, so they dash for the stairs.
You know your coworker won't make it through that crowd in this much panic, down all those flights of stairs, with a cane and a limp. Something bad is bound to happen.
1.) Try to help him get out as quickly and afficitiently as you can, knowing this massive building of concrete and glass is coming down and could possibly take the two of you out?
2.) Leave him. Get out any way you can. Survive.
And, again, this all depends. I think it's more a case-by-case basis when it comes to making hard decisions, and even then it can span out to what's influencing that person to make that decision (lifestyle/upbringing, personality, financial status, etc.)
There's so much more to everything than everyone thinks
