WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR LIFE AWAY FOR SOME CAUSE?

WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR LIFE AWAY FOR SOME CAUSE?

I think, and I hope, that the number of people willing to sacrifice themselves for a cause is very small --in single digits.

Sacrifices for religious, ideological, or political beliefs are so totally ridiculous -- even insane-- that I personally couldn't even fantasize about doing such a thing.

It IS possible for me to imagine throwing myself in front of a speeding car about to run over one of my , or even one of my beloved dogs. I would do that (at least I think I would), in the hopes of saving the or and perhaps saving myself too, by rolling, after pushing the or animal out of the way.

However, giving my life away for some group "cause" is completely foreign to me. I've never been a "joiner" for anything. Oh, I've BELONGED to a lot of clubs and groups, but I certainly never invested my entire body and soul in any of them. I feel I never will.

A person with even a small amount of cynicism running through his veins, never invests his body and soul into someone else's dream of utopia or any other dream. I'm that sort of person. Do you feel the same way? Or...are you someone who would readily give away his life for some religious, political, or ideological cause?

For someone to sacrifice their lives, I believe there HAS to be precursors to WHY they would do such a thing. In my frame of life's reference, I believe a person's life must be so terrible--so devoid of any pleasure--that to end it all would be a preference to continuing on in pain, whether the pain is physical or mental. Some people can get so bound by the restraints in their own minds, that they never experience the freedom of free thinkers.

Speaking for myself and I hope for a lot of additional people reading this post, my life is far too pleasurable and too happy for me to ever forfeit it for any "cause" sponsored by a ragtag group of maladjusted lame<b> brains.
