Um...yes it is. :/
The person you love, have lived with for years, and he is about to die. You can sit right next to me, look me in the eyes, and say, "Yes, a person can see a dearly loved one about to die from being crushed by a car by thinking, 'Oh, I'm going to "use desperation" to get my adrenaline flowing so I can lift that car.'"
