Hi all

Is this natural?

"It is hard for us to imagine what could/can possibly compel us/ourselves to endanger our own lives and those that we love'

Thank you

Hi,

As Nona said, it's natural, but a slightly more "educated" way that it would often be said is

"It is hard for us to imagine what could possibly compel us to endanger our own lives and those of the people that we love'

Best wishes, Clive
