People who help vs. people who flee

There are various ways people react the way they do. For people who are exposed to devastation, mayhem, chaos, or other craziness they react one of two ways: 1) They stay back and help those in need or 2) They worry about themselves and keep it moving. There is no right wrong way to handle a crisis it all depends on the person.
People saving others
            When a person risks their own life to save someone else or others, that says a lot about their character. It shows they have a heart, compassion and an act for helping others. It also shows that they have taken into consideration they may perish also. People risk their lives for others for multiple reasons such as: they have been in the same or similar predicament, they love them, they have guilt, they do not know any better, or they feel sorry for the person. Whatever the reason some people risk their lives, other’s not so much.
People fleeing chaos
            When a person looks out for themselves first it means they value their own life! At that point, they only have one thing on their mind: SURVIVAL. Those kinds of people can be deemed as being “selfish” or “cruel” sometimes when that is hardly the case. This frame of mind is most commonly known as the; Fight-or-Flight reaction. Not everyone can block out the Fight-or-Flight reaction, but there are those who can. Even though some people choose to go about escape differently, that does not make them any less of a person.
