A Principle To Keep
Even in the most dire situations, A principle I would keep is to make sure me and my family (If they're around) survive under all circumstances. If I were to choose, I would rather keep them alive before myself because I wouldn't want to be lonely and unsociable without them. Also I would prefer my mother and father to live because they're wiser than I am and would know what to do in certain situations and because my mom is the only female in my family (Immediate wise) they could reproduce if necessary. I also would keep my parents before myself because if I were to choose myself and it causes them to die, then i wouldn't be able to live with myself because they were the reason I was born so I'd eventually be depressed and guilty. The same goes for my older brothers, Even though i know they would do the same for me, It's still important to keep your family close and do nice things for them. I think everyone would follow this principle in terms of their parents and make sure their family lives is preserved before theirs.

But before we get to having to defend life and limb of family members, is there another principle that we should adhere to?
ReplyDeleteI guess what I was trying to say was that keeping generosity to the ones closest to you is something that should always remain shouldn't change under any circumstances
DeleteSo the reason you really have this principle was for yourself? You said that you would save and put your family before yourself because without them, you wouldn't have anyone to socialize with and you would be lonely. Personally, I think that is very selfish, and that should certainly not be a reason to save someone. Love should be that reason, but now I see your true intentions for your family. You should consider other people's feelings besides your own feelings of selfishness. This is especially true if you would wish to make friends and be considered friendly, like yours truly.
ReplyDeleteHi, Lydia. You COMPLETELY (note the capital letters) ignored what I meant by that. The fact of me being lonely was just an added bonus. I said i would throw away myself for them in a heartbeat so doesn't that imply love? I could still be lonely if they were alive because no one understands my teenage life (just a joke but a lot of people do that). But just like the Road there's the man and the boy (as far as we know) and the Boy prefers staying with his father, same here. Oh, And thanks for the feedback "yours truly" but it wasn't appreciated!
DeleteIf your family didn't survive under a certain situation, would you continue to live on? It's a good principle to put yourself before your family. You must really love them if you are willing to put them before yourself.
ReplyDeleteI meant to put your family before yourself.
DeleteI honestly do not know what choice I would make. Most likely I would consider living because I'll convince myself to carry on their legacy and see what happens.
DeleteWould you murder someone in cold blood or do other drastic things to save your family? How far would you go in order to help them?
ReplyDeleteJust about as far as I could go Josh. And yeah I guess I would. If it means anything I would apologize to them as well?
DeleteWhat if you were put in a situation where someone forced you to pick between one of your family members to live and the rest to die. Assuming that you can't pick yourself, who would you pick?
DeleteThat is a very dark and depressing thing to say, Joshua. Let's be friends.
DeleteJust seen this Josh, sadly I did not understand what you typed =).
DeleteAnd thanks for stealing all my friends Lydia.
