Is Character Revealed In A Crisis?

Yes, it is. Some act heroically, most muddle through the crisis as best they can, and a few others reveal the craven, dishonorable essence of what they are through their actions.

As a proponent of temperate rationalism, common sense and practical solutions, I do not like waiting for an emotional, theatrical crisis to arise for it to serve for me as a litmus test revealing who and what another is. If such occurs, fine.

I believe the most accurate, in-depth revelation of who a person is and what they are is expressed by how they act as they go about their daily routine, without fanfare, without noting who is watching, without bombast, day in and day out, year after year.
