Bulletproof dignity

Zach watching Bulletproof Monk with his dad

Nina (the baddie) shows Jade a picture of a refugee kneeling in front of a man with a rifle]
Nina: Tell me, deep inside, at the bottom of your soul, wouldn't you rather be the man about to do the shooting than the man about to be shot?


Zach (aged 9): I'd rather be the one facing the gun - better to die with dignity than live with none...

I'm guessing your son's life wont be by the easiest route, but will be far more fruitful for its chosen path Jacie.

There's a lot to be proud of there. :)

Bless him he's very idealistic and earnest - unlike a lot of his 9 year old friends! Grateful he turned out that way in spite of everything - he's not always had the best role models in me and his dad - we've talked the talk but we sure haven't always walked the walk...
