........how so?

Making money for killing someone I know and never getting caught. I dont see the stupidity in that.

I'd have to do it...

.......and then afterwards I'd track down the f*** who put me and my loved ones in that postion and torture them to death....

I can't kill anymore.... ❌

pretty shitty

you would become a murderer?

this reminds me of the "sophia's choice" scenario, where a mother is given a choice by SS soldiers between which one of her 2 kids gets to live. if she doesnt choose both kids are killed. so naturally she has to have one killed.

many people say that they would HAVE to pick one. the mentallity being that if they didnt, they would be responsible for the deaths of both their children. but i heard the profound view of one mother which solved the debate completely for me.

she said that she would choose neither. and when asked "but then you would be killing them both!" and she replied something like: "no, THEY would be killing them both and i would have no participation... however, if i made a choice i would be participating in the murder of one of my children."

that makes perfect sense to me.

so hell no. in a situation like that, i would never kill anyone. that i could probably live with, since i would only have the grief for a lost loved one to deal with, but no guilt, and no shame. i would have simply been the victim of cruelty just like them. but if i killed some innocent person just to suit the appetite of a murderer, i would probably spend the rest of my life consumed with depression and shame. that i could not live with. and then there's hell...

If you were being held at gunpoint, and a family member/loved one had the choice whether to kill to save you, or let you die, would you let them live with all of the above that you mentioned, or sacrafice yourself to save them from living with it?

i would have to sacrifice myself...but really i wouldnt be doing so.
i would be murdered, and that family member/loved one would be witnessing a murder. if i allowed them to kill someone, i would be allowing them the most horrible fate, one which in turn, i would carry as shame and guilt for the rest of my life along with them.

PVS>” that makes perfect sense to me.” Exactly.

“If you were being held at gunpoint, and a family member/loved one had the choice whether to kill to save you, or let you die, would you let them live with all of the above that you mentioned, or sacrafice yourself to save them from living with it?”

PVS has an excellent point. In a situation where I am being threatened to make a choice between loved ones, I am NOT really making a choice. I am being FORCED to do something I’d never do in another situation.
In the above scenario I AM not letting anyone live or die, the psycho with the gun is making that decision. I think I’d refuse to answer. I’d not at all participate in the insane game. If keeping my mouth shut means the psycho DECIDES to kill me, that is what it is. I am making no choices with a gun to my head.
I am being forced to perhaps feel guilty the rest of my life. A slow working poison through the rest of my living days and nights. NO WAY!
