Something you would die for?

id die for my beliefs and a select group of family and friends

I'd die for my direct family.

I do agree with WhiteEagle, with regard to your parents not wanting you to sacrifice yourself for them, but in a real life situation do you honestly think there's be a hesitant moment where you decide? Either it comes naturally to protect the ones you love or it doesn't. I know I don't value my life over the lives of those who created me, I owe it to them.

i would die for my mum and my sister and my dog.
im sure theres others, but theyre the main three that id die for, without question or a second thought.

in fact, i would probably die for many things. even things i dont really love as much as those three mentioned above - thats the kind of person i am ... i couldnt live with myself knowing that i couldve saved someone but i didnt. im not 100% sure on this, id never be 100% sure, until i was in the sttuation, but i'd probably for a complete stranger.

I'd die for freedom...that may sound weird but I'd rather die than to become a prisoner or a slave

It's good that you haven't cemented your decisions before you have the opportunity to know for real. In this case I sincerely hope you never have that opportuinity, but you're right, how the hell can you know how you'd react if it hasn't happened?

Yeah, most people said the same thing when it was asked whether you'd spend the rest of your life in prison or die.

ill put it this way:
im pretty sure i would die for many, many things.

but the only things im 100% sure i'd die for are my mum, my sister and my dog.

Interesting, although in literature many authors, poets etc have said that everyone has a point, a line, where they will act. I myself have always been taken by the concept of noble death (the Emperor defending the walls from the enemies hoards say), and I feel certain that I would be prepared to die for my family, and a small number of other very significant people, but then, thats just thinking about it, I mean, I would most probably jump in front of a truck to push someone out of the way, as it seems like something I would do. And yes, if I had a cause I believed in enough.

thats what im saying, basically 😛

I know, I probably should have just said I agree, I do waffle on sometimes. 😉

Yep, true. I can say that while I'm sitting here, but I can't say with any certainty what I would do in a split second decision. Either you die and you're parents have to live with burying their child or they die and you have to live with not saving them. It's a no win situation. Although I think in the end it would be the one/ones who are left alive who would suffer the most.

Yeah, I can't disagree with that. I'd like to think that I could hold back from protecting my parents, if it was their wish of course, but I am almost 100% sure that I would defend my mom and dad if it killed me. Literally.

id be willing to die to get Mr. Bush outta office, i mean i give my life to save the lives of all the people he has, and is going to kill...lol

my family and thats ALL

What, not even me? cry

My family, and my true friends

I'm not sure if I'd die for my beliefs yet, they haven't been tested to that extent yet

True friends? I'd love to be able to segregate my true from my not so, but I have no idea who I'd take that bullet for out of my buddies. I gues it'll have to happen for me to know. It's cool that you know yourself this well though ✅

I've always liked the idea of an honourable death when the time comes too. Getting hit by a bus or something like that seems like a lame way to end any life. Fighting to the last breath for something noble in the face of overwhelming odds is a much better way to go. 😉
