4. if rose stayed on that lifeboat
jack had a better chance of surviving as a clever capable poor boy with very good luck with other working class friends just as capable & wonderful
3. the fatal flaw here was being desperate in an emergency, catastrophe, cataclysm aka the trauma

john barnett was a man who did not abnegate his own responsibility as an adult
if he didnt
how could he have lived with himself
if that is the choice
say nothing & live as a shell of a person
or say something & die for that
it is too late either way
shell is typically worse
unless you have prior & deeper commitments & promises you made elsewhere that simply must matter more
it is never a crime to observe thru expertise & lived experience that something is wrong & then speak on it
that? is rather a duty nostr:note18l703xfjjln0xx277mdm3aaqhkcunjxwhztxxk39uwxk5k3x2qtq7whfhk

could we make a list?
how short is the list
what do you tell your child
if you ask them
what do you wanna be when you grow up & they say idk? & look back at you
what is the healthiest, safest, life affirming, life sustaining profession you could gently suggest? where they would smile sometimes, where they could reasonably afford to feed themselves? have a roof over their heads? not cause any problem to anyone
what ~wont~ end up in a meat grinder?
cant be a musician thats for sure
cant be an actor
journalist is deadly
doctor is deadly
nurse is deadly
politician is deadly
