I have often told my children about adrenaline. Adrenaline will allow a person to lift a car off another person. Adrenaline will allow a person to swim further, run faster, and jump higher than he could normally. Adrenaline may save your life. Adrenaline may save your child's life. However, adrenaline alone cannot do it. You have to want to save your child's life. You have to want it bad enough to be willing to sacrifice your own life in the process. This woman was willing. As a result, she was able to save both her child's and her life.
It never ceases to amaze me that some women are willing to do anything to save the lives of their children, and some are not willing to even disrupt their lives long enough to give birth to a child. The ability to love, care for, and even save your children is there. You just have to value their life more than your own. In a society such as our, as selfish as ours is encouraged to be, it is assumed to be hard to find women like that. However, I do not believe it is a rare quality. I just think it is a quality that has been hidden and dissuaded. If we all stood up and took a stand for our children, we could show the world that children are worth the effort. We live in a society that wants all people to be selfish. But, I don't believe we are all selfish. We just need to let out that side of ourselves that is not selfish. We'll all have a much better life as a result.
