What a question!

Shall I reanimate? Animate? Act and react? Love and live? Give and take? Should I seek happiness or is it already with me?

In doubt and in error FOR life

The fact that we care for ourselves and others, that we do not want to harm anyone, and that we treat each other with respect, seems beyond question to all of us. But what happens when we judge a situation wrongly or too slowly? Close our eyes and turn our heads away? Better to step back and let others take the wheel? What if we are too cowardly, too afraid, too hesitant?

It is difficult for laypersons to make a prognosis about an emergency situation, no matter how serious, in which we are either involved ourselves or in which close or distant fellow human beings find themselves. It is also difficult to know which actions are appropriate and appropriate for the situation - or not. Whether practice and practice are lacking. Whether your common sense is enough and your heart is in the right place is also up for debate. Doing nothing is probably the only unforgivable action.

The fact that in doubt FOR life and in error FOR life are in the foreground is immensely reassuring when thinking about it and allows for action - and also gives an answer to the question: Should I resuscitate? Yes - at least try!
