Be careful what you wish for, because you might just get it

There is this recurring thought that I keep having, if not several times a day, then at least every day. In this thought, I'm walking up to a traffic crossing and a child waiting at the crossing runs into the road and into the path of an oncoming truck. I see this happening and my reaction is to run in front of the child, with only enough time to wrap my body around him and then to take the impact of the truck. I don't stop the truck; I with the child wrapped under my arm and body get pushed along by the truck until the truck eventually comes to a stop. With the truck having stopped, I release myself from the dent in the truck; I loosen my grip from the child and stand him up to let him know he is alright; but he stands in shock, knowing that he has witnessed something great - something great that he is too young to yet comprehend. The child's mom rushes over to him, where I am too. I look around at all the still and looking traffic and observers... but I don't know where I go from there in my thought - where would one go after doing such a thing - off into the sky? lol They say you can do anything if you only apply your mind to doing it! So what are the chances of me being able to do the above? lol... I don't know why I keep thinking this thought.

i tend to daydream about 'the impossible' every so often, but i never really have answers for it, either. just fun to think about such things, i guess. ;]
Well of course the way you say it in here...you surviving a complete hit from a truck...itself wouldn't be able to happen so why does the thought keep on after that moment anyway? In a realistic way, I would think you would run and push/jump on the child so as to save him and yourself as well.

And if you did do such I thing, I would think you, afterward, would be kind of bashful and say "Oh, it's no problem!" lol. While everyone looks at you and the mom is crying like crazy saying "Thank you!" a million quadrillion times.

=] That's what I think.
you know what? i love the human psyche! its so interesting and I too wonder about that. that is very interesting really.
