Re: Steve R/ Bruce B
[Shelving this to think about it later.]
What she wants you to promise or what she needs you to promise? [...] It's true, Bruce, I believe, that everyone can be a hero, but that doesn't make our position—the one you and I are in as people shouldered with, and accepting, the burden to protect the world—the same as most people's. It can be an awkward place for relationships. Sometimes our responsibility is too great. It's not up to us to decide if the people we love can or want to shoulder it with us, as much as it can hurt when they don't want to.
