why am i letting something that holds personal value and meaning die over something that holds none of that? If i dont know you, you carry 0 impact on how much i care unless empathy were present in which it would be for both pet and human negating that consideration. If there was nothing i could do i wont blame myself for any mans death. Thems the rules in this thread - nothing you can do to save both. 0 impact 0 guilt in this situation. Now, if there was a chance and i goof'd up and failed then some guilt may be present.
