And you're right: just think if the war hadn't broken out: she would have led the rest of her life as the wife of a Polish diplomat, attending parties, having affairs, maybe having children. <br /><br />One other point about sociopaths: people who drop everything for a cause exhibit laudable dedication, but dropping everything is also another sociopathic tell: they often lead their lives, in wartime or not, as if they have nothing to lose.

I am always struck when people have an event rigger a response to change their life entirley. The revolutionary war was like that too where farmers left their plough in the field to walk to boston. On the other hand take the same trains every day and do my best to maintain routine. Something to be said for the people who drop everything for a cause they believe in with their whole being. <br />Dave Moriartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280611549973778922noreply@blogger.com
