  Great Line and a good movie as well.
If you're a wilderness paddler or outdoors person you're a very or fairly Independent person. The idea of being helpless with little or no chance of getting better would have to scare you.

  I don't like the idea of people feeling sorry for me either. Even WORSE, I start feeling sorry for MYSELF.


I never saw a wild thing feel sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself.
