What's good, what's wrong? Scribbled down on Friday, 19 August 2005 5:36:47 AM
Another situation: So, if you're in a life-death situation, like a serial killer about to kill you. Imagine him walking towards you with a gun in his pocket and knife in his hand to slice you open (think of Copycat). You're cornered at a place where there are no doors or windows, such are far away, behind your killer. The only thing you have is this huge, heavy container hanging above your head. The remote control is the only thing in your reach. What would be right to do? Continue standing as your killer was drawing closer with a robe to tie you and later you'd be experiencing the horror of being cut open alive. Or would you push the button and let the container crush you before he does so, and die within seconds what wouldn't happen if you tolerate someone to murder you. Will you still be judged by a choice you made and come in hell, just because you chose a quick death, to not have to experience pain? A (forced) suicide? I don't know... You could also run into him and kick him in between the legs but you'd risk to have him shoot you with his gun right after. That is if you're smart and if he is... but what if in other cases you don't think of anything else? Will you be judged on your ignorance? Is submission that rewards? Is it really?? Is enduring pain what promises a lot? Suicide cases all differ in intensity, reasons, as it's something personal. Pain is relative. Well, isn't it?? Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something- Westley, from The Princess Bride
