sense of duty or desire ?!

Some one made me think recently !
What makes a relationship click. Is it like whole stretch of time you like some one or is it in bursts ? you like some one a lot at one moment, and other moment that person seems stranger !
This may be very natural :P I think just the desire may not make the cut. There needs to be some amount of sense of duty to make things work. So many boring / mundane things may come in between which both persons may need to endure :) How much ever emotionally, sexually charged up or passionate things are in the beginning, I guess some blend of sense of duty is required to make things work in the long run.

Gun pointing at your head !

Yesterday, was watching a thriller. There was situation, where everyone could die in matter of hours. With snipers waiting for you everywhere. Ever wondered how it would feel when you are facing a gun pointing at you ?! In a matter of minutes you may be no more. What would a average human being with no combat training would do ? Would he freeze there or act smart ?
