Hypothetical

[perky79]

This is something I had written just a few months ago, but never posted it here on the CF forums.

<i>Would you die for a loved one? We have all thought about or have been asked this question at some point in time. For me that is an easy yes. I also think it is an easy yes for everyone. Now how likely is it that we will ever be faced with that dramatic moment when you plunge yourself in front of that loved one to take a bullet? Not likely at all.... Maybe its easier to die for that loved one than actually living. I don't know. However I would like to offer up a more realistic and meaningful question. "Would you LIVE for a deceased loved one?" I am more than certain, that loved one would have died for you just so you could have a chance at a longer life. I for one would like to live for my fallen comrades. I believe it is far more difficult to live than it is to die. I just don't see it as a noble act to merely say yes to taking a bullet for a friend. I hate it when people ask me that question is all. </i>

Now for my current emotions....blah! I now realize I was naïve. Yeah I prolly had a good point when I wrote this, but I hate everything right now. I just don't want to take my own advice at the present. I want to be immature and whine like an impotent jerk. I would do this in a blog, but my blog was deleted since I didn't use it. Boooo. Meh...let me know what you all think?

The whole concept scares the hell out of me. Having to make that snap decision. I even day dream & actually have night dreams about different senarios of such.

I do agree that for ME its easier to die then to live, but right/wrong that is not what I base my existance on. I am not afraid of death for myself. I am afraid of death for those left behind. I know the pain of losing loved ones.

So would I take that bullet or be hit by a car to save a loved one? YES I just hope that the whole reason for my doing so works out. I would hate for them to be upset in my doing so!

You have a very interesting question there..."Would you LIVE for a deceased loved one?" Something you know you should do, but sometimes forget in the midst of your grief. Gave me pause for thought. I think I didn't so much LIVE after my husband died so young in a motorcycle accident, but EXISTED. Eventually I learned to live again, but it was a while, as the numbness slowly wore off. I know my Tom would've wanted me to have a life, and so I did, but I have never forgotten him...

Now--are you up to making a blog telling us about Debbie's service, since you was there? If it's too much, I understand...I'm just glad you were able to make it. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

Great question,

Would I die for a loved one is a hard thing to answer. I would say <i>no</i> but there's a reason for it. I can't conceive a scenario where actually dying would help them. Unless were talking about giving up vital organs for donation when your still alive. More than likely dying would worsen the problem at hand.
Taking a bullet instance, if that person were about to be shot then all you would be doing is taking one or two of possibly 15 rounds. It would serve the other person better to fight back and if needed put yourself between them and the bullets. If you have to die then do as much damage as possible<img src="i/expressions/devil.gif" border="0">.....take those baddies down with you.

Would I live for someone who has passed? Thats definitly a good subject to talk about ahead time. Tell you truth if I had someone I cared that much for I would probably follow right behind'em<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif" border="0">. However, if I was normal and healthy then <i>yes</i>. But I'm not, so I would hope that person wouldn't ask me to endure any more than they could if the tables were turned.
