There's no resolution to the question of "what is the right action in response to the situation" that applies to everyone. It's always irrational to risk oneself for a principle, that might (or might not) be for the benefit of society. If you aren't going to do it, fine. I'm not inclined either. But have the grace not to gratuitously criticize those who do. Try not to see them in the dichotomy of heroes or idiots, just as people who provide some leavening to society.
