Heros...

...not the TV show. I am sitting here watching Ellen, they have this guy who saved a subway rider who was having a seizure. The guy had the first seizure and Wesley put a pen in his mouth to stop him biting himself and ten minutes the guy gets up, walks away from him, says nothing, then stumbles to the right and left and then tumbles down onto the tracks with his legs and arms splayed over the tracks. So Wesley jumps down onto the tracks and covers the guy just as a train is entering the platform. The train actually grazed the Wesley's ski cap. It has this smudge on it from the bumper. He was trapped for another 20 minutes while they killed the power to the 3rd rail, which he somehow also missed. All this while the seizure victem was pushing at him to get off him. So he had to pin him down to hold him still so that they would not get executed since they were laying in water. Crazy. Mashallah, there are people out there who think about human life like that...think about others before themselves. And his two young dauthers were on the platform ( the hero's...I think his name is Wesley). How great! It makes me feel light and happy, like people can be nice!

my GOD. I feel heavy and unhappy knowing I don't see myself having the courage (not to mention the physical prowess) to do this.

Maybe I should take up spinning ;)
