This quote is from Daniel's Story. It was a beautiful inspiration to Rosa and Daniel from Erika. It reminded me of a character in the walking dead named Herschel. There was a huge sickness that killed everyone. Herschel was as old as a mummy but he still went into the quarantine zone and helped treat everyone there. Instead of saving his own life, he decided to choose love for both his passion of being able to help others and saving people when others wouldn't. Even when he was getting chased by zombies and was about to kill them, he thought of all the other people and decided that it would be better that they didn't see him kill the zombies. Later he said that that he was talking about Steinbeck with one of the zombies he just killed. The quote was "A sad soul can kill quicker than a germ." That was why he didn't want the children to see him kill the zombies. Then before he went in to save peoples lives Rick, the leader, and some others didn't want him to go because they were afraid he was going to die. He then said" You step outside, you risk your life. You take a drink of water, you risk your life. And nowadays you breathe, and you risk your life. Every moment now you don't have a choice. The only thing you can choose is what you're risking it for. Now I can make these people feel better and hang on a little bit longer. I can save lives. That's reason enough to risk mine." The words were just as amazing as seeing the Total Eclipse. He chose love for humanity and for that he deserves enough respect to be on this blog.
