Topic: Would You Give Your Life For The World? | |
---|---|
Of course this is extremely hypothetical.... If the torture and horrible death of you, would create universal peace, would you be willing to walk away from your life, your partner, your children not knowing what was to happen to you....only that the end result would be a peaceful universe once you had taken your last breath? yes, he did...and 30 years later look at the impact he still has on the world... and last year he generated 8 million , not as much as Elvis... |

ok, lets change this a bit.....
There is some conflict over being tortured and dying a horrible death. How about just a bullet to the head instead...instant death..no horrific death. Just your life for universal peace forever.... Would that be easier to do? |

|
So the manner of death isn't really the issue at all?

Pain is relative and nothing would be more worth my life than such an act. Now world peace is good and all, but its not indefinite (*note, I see now you do say forever, tho my view remains unchanged). How about to vanquish all evil on Earth? Cuz there can be world peace and still terrible issues within a nation, a business, peoples, etc. I vote to remove evil... hard to have a war without evil

Yes, however I see a higher chance of world peace through complete-evil-eradication rather than no evil through complete-world-peace. Hehe, maybe thats dreaming a lil too big! Always a pleasure Lady~ |

I fully plan on being a martyr. Yes.
|
|
|
|
I've risked my life for a lot less meaningful things.

i'm a couple notches away from being suicidal most of the time anyhoo.
i'd gladly do it. death is a fact of life. it's gonna happen anyway... might as well do it for a good cause. |

True peace is the extintion of all life. Becareful what you wish for.

If i was to give my live i'd give it on my feet fighting for those I cared for and loved. I would not lay my life down for world peace, but for someone dear to me I would.

|
I would give my life for my fellow man...
but only if I was assured Bruce Willis would play me in a movie about my struggle. Otherwise it's just no damn fun. |

It would have to be more than just universal peace. People would also have to stop being a-holes to each other, no more lies, no more cheating, no more thievery, no more vandalism. If they could accomplish that, then yes I would crucify myself.

Hasn't this been done before by a carpenter named Jesus?

My problem would be with the 'guarantee'. But assuming you could convince me that it would be guaranteed and lasting peace, then yes.
