The human embodiment of the phrase “if I must”

Dramatist, critic & Nobel Prize winner George Bernard Shaw (pic) wrote the following words in Man & Superman (1905): “Old men are dangerous: it doesn’t matter to them what is going to happen to the world.” His words were wise then & it’s very clear that they’re even wiser now.

While at a conference, the woman sitting next to me suddenly slumped forward in a faint. Trying to help, I held her head down by pressing down on her shoulders. It turned out she had not fainted but had only been trying to retrieve her bag off the floor. I left early.
