There is much talk of laying down one's life for a belief, a religion...


I wonder how many would sacrifice their life for a fellow human being?

And how many actually have?

What would YOU be prepared to do for your humanity?

With or without religious, or political beliefs?

What are you prepared to give up, for your fellow humans?

Yes

I would, I do not fear death, I embrace it.

I would if it was a part of God's will, I'll know because I will be at a
place at the perfect time.

I'm NOT even going to lie Jess, I'm a sissy when it comes to pain. So I
would do it out of a reflex to help someone and might lose my life in
the process.

Example- move a toddler out the street, try to alarm the police during a
robbery, etc

Yes

Let me be clear, I wouldn't lay down my life for any religion, it's not
worth it. Would I lay down my life for a fellow human being? I don't
know, I would like to think that I would. I've never been in the
situation, so I don't know. If I had been in the situation, I wouldn't
be typing this, would I? I'm guessing it would be easy for me to say
that I would, but I'm not sure that it's the truth. I can imagine many
situations, where I wouldn't and many situations where I believe I
would. Personally, I hope I'm never in the situation, I'm rather fond
of living.

Hey Spider! Yes I agree with you. I said yes to my friends and loved
ones.

yes i would die for my bf steve and my mom, dad, and bro :D

Yes I would. I don't not think about myself in times of danger. I react
to save others.. Only after the Danger is gone to I freak out....

I would risk my life for any human anywhere. You are all precious in
the eyes of God.

Good answer Adventure

Spider

"Personally, I hope I'm never in the situation, I'm rather fond
of living."

Thankyou for the honesty. It is true, we're human and you want to say
"yes" but truly when the time comes..what do you REALLY do?

For my kids or someone I loved YES.

Hangedman loves me so that's a yes for me

It's an honor and duty thing for me Bored.

I WOULD

Aww thanx hug

I wonder how many would sacrifice their life for a fellow human being?
Seems a lot would.



And how many actually have? I know obscure question....perhaps if
worded, how many have placed their own life at risk, for another?


What would YOU be prepared to do for your humanity? A lot of honest
answers there, realistic, and not whimsical.

With or without religious, or political beliefs? Also seems humanity as
a whole, comes before religious, or with religious, or political
beliefs.


What are you prepared to give up, for your fellow humans? I know, a bit
of a trick question...and one that could have been taken in context of
the flavour of the questions, or out of context...


So to answer my own questions... Definately I would place my own life at
risk for the life of another, and have done, and yes, you are right,
bored, reflex, plays a huge part...it is in the unthinking, in the
moment...most times...well, for me, it has been.

And yes I have, and undoubtably will again.

I am prepared to do all I can, for humanity, for my fellow humans, even
if it is at the expense of my life, for another.

And religion, and politics play no part for me.

I will give up, whatever is required, including my own life, to support
and assist, the life of another, any or all...

I am not that attached to it, (my own life).

Yes, I only pray that I will not hestitate!

I've had to ponder over this topic for awhile. There are those who have
had the good fortune of finding the answer to this question first hand.
Those who have risked surgery to donate a part of themselves, literally,
for the life of another, whether they knew that person or not.

There was a time I wished I too had such an opportunity. But I have
grown wiser and realized that there is ample opportunity. Giving your
life or risking your life is only one of many unselfish deeds that save
life.

Some give time, some give money, some give lessons and some give hope.
Others brave the criticism of society to fight for just causes and all
of these are a giving of ones life.
