Hero or Zero?

I believe the main factors that decide whether a person will risk their life for a stranger are their heart and their soul. If a person has a good, kind heart, and are selfless, they are very likely to justify saving someone they may know nothing about. Selfish, cold people typically put themselves before others, which is exactly why they are considered as such. However, it also depends on whether or not they have a cowardly soul. Even if someone wants to help another person, fear can easily dissuade them. In dire situations, people are likely to act on either side of the spectrum. They will either be stupidly brave or disgustingly faint-hearted. Perhaps taking into account a person’s life can affect their behavior. When someone has a family to take care of, they may not want to risk their own life as it could, in turn, risk the welfare of the ones they love. People who live alone and have no one to support but themselves may not have much to lose. In the end, though, it really comes down to what a person is made of.
