Bremma Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Not article inspired, just an odd question that I muse about occasionally. What would you do? Lets say you were in a situation where one of you would die. Doesn't matter who. What woudl you would do? Me, I would either find a way to save both of us, and if that fails, then die with my love. I wouldn't sacrifce myself for them becuase then you mourn and miss me, nor would I sacrifce them, for then I would mourn and miss. I would die with him. If you coudln't tell this is like, married, I could never find anohter like him/her love, not BF, GF testing love situation. What about you all?

Yu Yu Hakusho! Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Geez...that's a really hard question. It depends on how I feel about them, whether we're really close. If it was a boyfriend, proably not. Maybe not even a best friend. But a husband or a parent....yes. I'd have to. I hate answering hard questions like this! I just can't decide! Oh yeah, and it also depends on if they would do the same for me. I know my dad would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juu Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 [color=ff00cc] [size=1]I would, if perhaps it wouldn't be like, a middle school-relationship. If I really loved this person, I would. I'd actually do the same for my closest friends. If I knew this person well, and in the first place, would do anything for them. Although... I don't think there will be a situation where I would have to... o_o;[/color] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum Apex Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 [font=trebuchet ms][color=darkblue]In a second, if it were the only way, there'd be no hesitation from my part. If I couldn't do it, then love would the wrong word to describe what I feel for that person.[/color][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiroMunkie Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 [color=indigo][size=1]Without a second thought. Yes, I would. I do not even have to love the person. Just care about them on some level. My life is not all that important that I should be so selfish as to let another go to waste when I could have prevented such.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamc2 Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Yes I would. That's my decision now, however I don't know when the situation actually arises. My understanding of the human psychosis under stress is a rather hazy one... But yes, yes I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 [color=darkblue] Damn you Piro, you took the words I was thinking of and posted them as I scrolled down this page :p I would do it even if I did not know the person, I mean, death is inevitable, why not just die there and save that person instead of sending them to their death. I mean, their life must be worth much more than mine. [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinnyLyn Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 [color=royal blue]If it will make a difference by saving that person, then yes. I wouldn't say instantly, for death isn't an easy thing for me to embrace, but I know I would try to. *offscreen* You're sounding dramatic again. Oh PFFT, you all! ^^ Anyways, it's not so much love for me (though that would make it "easier")--I guess I would rather be the tragic hero and make sure that someone else survives. Just remember me at my funeral, mkay? ^^[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would probably find a way to both die, lol. Perhaps if the person was being shot at, we would jump in front, and bullet would pass through the person in front and into the person is back.

Shy Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 [size=1]This thought has popped into my head several times, but I'd be more than willing to die for [i]any[/i] of my close friends and loved ones. I couldn't imagine living without them. I've never even had a real boyfriend/girlfriend/whatever, but I only assume that my devotion to them would at least be the same. -Shy[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 This has been asked before, but topics like this should be discussed more often. They make us think about what we value in life. I personally would die for my mother, my brother, and my step father. These people make life worth living to me. As for the rest of the people out there, I could never say. It would be the heat of the moment that decided. Sorta like a yuske saving that kid sort of thing. The heat of the moment can lead to anything, so I dont know what I would do in terms of anyone besides my family. But as for my family, I wouldnt just die, I would do anything. Its also important to remember that most of us will never get the chance to save our loved ones lives with our own. That is the worst part... not making the decision.

Lady Asphyxia Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 [color=darkred]Honestly, I don't know. I'd hope the answer would be yes, and at this point of time I say I would, but when or if I actually got into that situation, I have no idea. I know my faults; I'm a pretty selfish person. However, hyperthetically, yes. I would.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Harlequin Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 [font=gothic][color=crimson]I'd certainly die for Raven (though there'd be a hell of an argument between us before hand), and for Jack, but that is more because I value my life very little.[/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoTranzrig Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 [COLOR=darkblue]I'd have to say yes too...not neccesarily in the way where I would die for them, but I would give my life to someone I love so they would have a better future.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foredaddy Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 It definately seems wierd to say you would die for the one you love. But just the fact that it would save them so they could have life would satisfy me. To live without love is not to live at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delian Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 If the situation came down to that and there was no other, then yes I would sacrifice myself for someone I loved, definitely. I wouldn't be able to live with myself, knowing that I could have prevented their death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemolth Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Dying for the one you love is a cliche, and not altogether a difficult thing to do when you think about it. A harder question is, would you [i]live[/i] for the one you love? Now that's something to think about... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd die for someone I love, family, close friends. In theory. But I have this huge fear of death. I can't say how I'd react under that kind of pressure. But, in theory, yes.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikey Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 [COLOR=blue]Depends. If the love was just some love in school, some small love then I wouldn't. It just wouldn't be right. But if it was a big love, I'd probably do it. If they would die for me, then I shall die for them. If they didn't really like me, and they were just there for me to save them, I wouldn't. But if they really did care about me, then I would save them. But if they were just using me to save them, and use me, then I'd probably do it. It all depends.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan L Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Mnemolth [/i] [B]Dying for the one you love is a cliche, and not altogether a difficult thing to do when you think about it.[/B][/QUOTE] It all depends what kind of death we're talking about here. I'm not a huge fan of death as it is. I don't value myself over anyone else, but I value my life more than I value my death. Sure, I believe in all that a Christian believes in, but it's a lot easier to have faith when you have nothing or relatively little to lose, than when you have your life to lose.. I'd have to disagree.. it's altogether not a difficult thing to do when you [i]don't[/i] think about it.. the more you think about it the more difficult it can be... and as I said, it all depends what kind of death we're talking about here.. if we're talking about a slow death, such as suffocation or freezing to death, then it's a lot harder to make the decision. Dying for the one you love may be a cliche, but it's not quite as easy to do as a lot of people make out, in the circumstances.. (for anyone with a lesser grasp of common sense.. I do [i]not[/i] speak from experience) [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Mnemolth [/i] [B]A harder question is, would you live for the one you love?[/B][/QUOTE] That's not really a hard question at all.. most people would probably say yes.. but then, I doubt they'd understand the full implications of the question (referring to general population here, not people on OB). I personally think a much harder question is, would you die for someone you [i]don't[/i] love? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treton_noir Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 not even the slightest hesitation. yes. absolutely.

The Harlequin Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 [font=gothic][color=crimson]Living for a loved one is nasty. Very nasty. And a lot harder than dying for one. Just a note from personal experience. I'd die for someone I didn't love, provided that someone was actually a purple chicken.

Sere Tuscumbia Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 [B]Would you die for the one you love?[/B] Erm. Well . . . if I loved anyone, then yes. True, it'd be a "heat of the moment" thing, but if I loved that person enough, I'd die. . . . . . . Well, depends on what kind of death I'd die . . . if it was a slow, painful death, then I'd say no. ^^;; If someone I loved died for me, then, it'd be hard, but I'd live. There's other fish in the sea, you know. Dying for someone I [I]didn't[/I] love? Psssh, let 'em die. They can burn for eternity for all I care. --Sere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
