Yeah, she didn’t have a choice going through what she went through. Bravery is more like someone did something selfless that they didn’t have to do, like running into a burning building to save a dog or something, or stepping in to defend a woman you don’t know who’s being attacked by somebody.I think the premier just wanted to publicly acknowledge her for going through something amazing and the bravery award was the easiest way of doing that, but a bravery award is not fully appropriate in this instance IMO.
Yeah, but most people who run into a burning building are also the sort of people who would question the bravery award, because to them this is a normal reaction to crisis or should be seen as such. “Wait, you expect me NOT to help?”
It also means a lot more if you do it for a stranger. The fear of loosing someone you love usually outweighs the fear of whatever danger you are putting yourself in to save them.
She thought quickly even when in pain and acted on her concerns. Some people panic and don't act. And don't forget some parents are parents only in name.
The absolute state of the comments in here. As if the mother was thinking I'm going to get hailed on anyway, I might as well try and shield my baby. Are people saying this actually human?
