Hypothetical question

Would you die to save your best friend's life? And, if so, would you hesitate? :)


Me: Yes, without question.
 
feck......i hate that kind of questions. it sickens me to think about it.
 
I wouldn't because I have kids.

But if I didn't, then here's what I'm thinking:

If this person was my friend, such a good friend that I'd consider dying for, then that would mean I love him/her unconditionally (if there's such a thing) and I'd have to ask myself, "Self," I'd say, "if I died for him/her then they'd miss me and they'd be in more pain then if I didn't die for them and let them die instead. So which pain is greater? That of missing the dead or actually being dead and there'd be *no* pain *in* death"?

*sigh*

Oh the thinks I have thunk....Dr. Suess, take me home....
 
Die?-depends on so much, even if the answer were yes, hesitate? hell yea...that's a lot to give up.
 
Its no big deal, really. I've died for a couple friends already. And I'll probably do it again....
 
is this question of some importance to you specifically? does it refer to a real situation?

the reason that i ask is because usually people have something on their mind when they ask something like that in real life conversations
 
Yes. Without hesitation. Somehow I value a good friend's life more than mine...

That will change if I'm married and have kids, because then they would be most important to me.
 
At one time, I'm pretty sure I would've, but now, I doubt it, cause I don't have a best friend (in real life, anyway), and it'd be pretty retarded to die saving the life of someone who doesn't exist. :retard:
 
i used to think that i would die to save someone else, but now i would have to qualify that. it would only be someone that i felt was worth it. i've had the displeasure of meeting people in real life that weren't.

Yes there is something on my mind, something which happened to me once... I was reading through my journal when I hit it and decided to ask people what they think.
 
for any of my friends id give my life. any. now which best friend are we talking about i have a few so for all them the answer is yes. id do anything for them.
 
i have no friends worth dying for. the g/f on the other hand, yes, without hesitation.
