The Ones We Couldn’t Save: Loss in the Line of Duty | Stoicism

Ty bud, this is exactly what I needed today.

Edit: this passage hit me bro "In this line of work believing is survival; believing that what we're doing matters, believing that our skills, our training, our speed and our sheer willpower is enough to save a life. If we lose that belief we lose our edge, and if we lose our edge someone may lose everything."

I didn't know how to articulate what I felt till I heard that. 💪
