True human being’s spirit

This morning, I read a book, which was written about Titanic, with my little son, Izana.

After we read that book, I asked Izana that what he would do if he was in Titanic when the ship sunk. He said that he could be swimming as much as he could. I asked him again that he would not see any lifeboat though he was swimming, if he would be swimming or not. He said he would be swimming. Then, I asked him why he would be swimming though he would not see any lifeboat. He was some silent. I realized that the question was little difficult to answer for six year old boy.

After we had that conversation, I told him how much I appreciated for his answers. Yes, it was. It was true spirit of true human being. And it was also the only way to be meaningfully doing at that kind of time and situation. Whether we could see lifeboat or not, we should be making effort or must be swimming till the last second of our lives! I was really glad for my little boy.
