Would you give your life for somebody

Would you give your life for somebody

 

Who?

 

Yes, I would risk my life for anyone in need (although they’d better be awfully needy)

Hotwater

 

Well everyone is me. I am everything, sacrificing my self for someone so I could lose my conscious being would be quite ignorant.

Humans are selfish, dont expect it from anyone....

But I would risk my life in a sense, but it depends on who they are.

 

yes

 

He did say give and not risk.

Have you heard of Henery Tandy? He was a war hero in the great war.

He won the Victoria Cross. One day, in the middle of the war, he had a wounded unarmed German soldier in his sight. Being a gentleman, he let the soldier go.

The soldier? Lance Corpral Adolf Hitler.

 

I can't say that I'd give my life for just anyone; but "Yes", there are those for whom I would give my life.

 

Of course I'll say yes, but I guess I'll never know until the situation happens.

Intending on doing something and doing something are very very different....

 

Im old enough and been lucky enough in life I think I could especially for a kid. If the kid happens to be one of my own there isn't much doubt in my mind. However if I can get a hold on the threat I will attempt to render great harm to such threat.

 

As an 18 year old girl, your life probably has more value anyway.

Unless you consider the world as dangerously overcrowded.

Then you should probably be sterilized.

 

Sarah's secret for the day: I am sterile :s

at least in my hypochondriac mind


Anyway I know there are people that I love that I'd jump in front of a bullet for, if I had the amazing speed and the opportunity / necessity to, but it's probably a lot easier said than done

 

That's okay Sarah, I dont want kids anyway. :biggrin:

 

I think for the most part those that would put their life on the line to help another just do so without thought at the time. Adrenaline kicks in and they react.

I also do believe that there are some people who would not consider doing it at all.

I could not stand by and watch someone die if I thought there was something I could do to stop it or there was a way to stop it.

 

Depends on the situation, but yes.

 

Honestly, I'm not sure. It would depend on the situation and how find myself reacting to it.

This thread reminds me of a question once asked by Arthur Schopenhauer

How is it that a human being can so participate in the peril or pain of another that without thought, spontaneously, he sacrifices his own life to the other? How can it happen that what we normally think of as the first law of nature and self-preservation is suddenly dissolved?

 

I would rejoice if I found out I was sterile...

Anyway, I know that I would give my life for my boyfriend or my brother, but I wouldn't give my life for just anyone.

I would risk my life for a stranger (at least I think I would).

 

Sure- i would give my life to protect the ones i love , any man would to the same thing .

 

not for anybody i know.

 

I am sterile, though I wish I wasn't... though maybe it's for the benefit of humankind that I am... lol

I wouldn't give my life for say, a serial killer or an animal torturer, but generally speaking, I would. I would also give my life if that's what it took to save an animal in danger.
