I was thinking about this and wondering who will be looked upon by our descendants as true Heroes …
people whom our Descendants will look to for inspiration because of courage shown during these times. – because of what we are going through now.

That’s a very good question. You would think so, and I certainly hope so.

The problem is who would it be, only after the events have all unfolded will we know who was really right, and had the courage to stand his ground.

From your significant other? What if your female friend comes to work the next Monday and flashes 5 carrots in your face….gleaming lol? How do you feel when you tell her that you only got a kiss and a pat on the butt?

Please be as honest as possible. There really is no right or wrong answer in my opinion. It’s not that black or white.
I’m single ladies so this is not about me. Simply a hypothetical.
@ eldots53: I feel like an idiot lol! Thanks for picking up that miscue by me. I meant carats. Count on me to always have my mind on my stomach ;)

I would probably say to myself "lucky bitch" , looking at the 5 carrot as it glowed different colors of green ,lol as a romantic i would be feeling very excited ,after all i might have only got a kiss and a pat but ,what more could i ask for? they came with a promise! . In these hard times one has to look to the future and sometimes its the the kisses and the pats that keep romance alive.
