"I'm tired of following my dreams, so I'll just ask where they're going and hook up with 'em later." - Mitch Hedberg
This may seem a little odd, but I need a question answered, and you people are the right ones to answer it.
How far would you go to save the one you love? How far are you capable of going?
I'll answer tomorrow...I need to go cry myself to sleep.

If I may ask, what happened?
I'm not sure how far I would go, especially since I can get selfish, though if my Love was in serious danger, I'd probably sacrifice even myself to protect Him.

There's a story where a boy is attacked by a great white shark while swimming at the beach...the father went into the ocean and saved his sun...after the boy was safe on the beach the father went back and picked up the GREAT WHITE SHARK and carried it to dry land where he then beat it to death.
Yeah...that's not quite far enough for me. Only my death will stop me...but that is something that will not happen.
And I would also ask what happen? love is an exceptable illogic of philosophy.

I don't love that passionately.
But there's a word between duty and love which is the reason I would go pretty far for a certain someone.

Well, to put it bluntly, I've been hearing rumors, omens, what have you, that my g1rlfriend is in danger of her life. And, well, based on my particular beliefs, that's not a good thing, even going past the fact that I love her more than life itself.
I've said it before. If I were given the guarantee that this omen will not come true, but the price would be every other human on Earth...I'd take it.
That's how far I'd go. D3ath might stop me...but maybe not.

You should NOT go so far as to sacrifice your own life for the person you love. It sounds altruistic, but it is just as selfish. I'm always amazed of how many of these martyer types don't even consider the terrible guilt the survivor goes through. Not to mention now you've stuck HER in the sittuation YOU were afraid to be in... you're without the significant other.
Really, there are better ways to solve the problem. If someone is threatening her life, inform the police. There are much more rational ways of dealing with the problem than killing yourself, especially since it'll cause her suffering if you DO. But not knowing the circumstances, can't really say much more.

There's more to the situation than that...if it were that simple, it'd be that simple.
Plus, I don't trust police. And they don't trust me.

Quite frankly, I'd do anything in my power to save her. Then again, that's me, and I love the one I love with such a total commitment to her, body, mind, and soul, that sometimes, it scares me a little.
I think if anything should happen to the one I love, and she should leave this existance, I daresay I wouldn't be too far behind her. I wouldn't end my life intentionally, but I'd probably lose the will to live.

On the one hand I'd die, get back up and start Hadokening people. That's just the way things are.
But on the other hand, I'd follow Dan Bern into one of these things: If I tell you that I love you, don't test my love; accept my love; don't test my love; 'cause maybe I don't love you all that much. That's the opening line to the song Jerusalem, and it's really got me thinking about this. I'd do everything to save her, but maybe not everything to keep her, you know? It's an odd canundrum.

terranproby42 On the one hand I'd die, get back up and start Hadokening people. That's just the way things are. Quote: Oh, indeed. I'd probably just get right back up, probably yawn, and complain about the afterlife, and then people would start falling.

But not knowing the circumstances, can't really say much more. Im not saying I would commit suicide. NEVER...I'm saying that as a last option if it's a matter of my life or hers I will be the one to go. Going to say that if someone comes to shoot her I will jump in front of the bullet to save her. I'm not sure if that's all you mean...Love as I know it is exhilirating, deep, irrational, and painful. that's just the way it is...it doesn't change the facts.

(chuckles) Aaah the irony. You get a real Darwin award for doing silly stuff like that. So you save your love one. Great. Bye-bye you from the gene pool (giggles). Makes no survivalistic sense whatsoever.... irony, irony.... ah well. Love is blind, love is stupid, but despite all its shortfalls... well... you know. wink

I said I'd do anything...but...I didn't do enough...

I honestly don't know if I am adding to the discussion... but I feel something must be said all the same.
I may have had some girlfriends... but never have I had one long enough to actually get into a deep relationship with.
But... I care about my friends and family all the same. The family... I worry for their safety, and there are times, like when they all go for vacation and I stay home because of work, that I worry for them.
For friends... I just worry for their well being.
I honestly don't know if people do indeed have a meaning to life, or if there is just simply life and nothing else, but it feels like I am obligated to make sure that everyone is safe. Yet... I can't be doing that once I move out in 2 years now, can I? sad
I don't know if it is like a love, or just a feeling of obligation, but that is what I feel.

Wow. From the title I thought this was a COMPLETELY different discussion. But that's okay... let me try to release these words into the thread...
In order to achieve something great, you must first dream it... and then it becomes ambition. Correct? I mean, there are those odd times when something really big happens to an unsuspecting fool, but USUALLY the person had dreamed of it, and then began to take that dream seriously and make it into an ambition... I mean, look at the crazies that make the "largest ball of (insert item here)." such as the World Record rubber band ball. Do you think that guy sat down and dreamed "Man, wouldn't it be great if I had the biggest freakin ball of rubber bands, ever??" And do you think that rubber band ball ever came between him and his wife?
Damn, I should quit posting and go write a drama about it, huh? ha ha... Ah, but what to call it. Maybe I could make a crappy B movie of it... but where would I find that many rubber bands? xd My new dream. Will it become an ambition? Or better yet, an accomplishment? Probably not... I'll most likely file it away with my towering filing cabinets of great accomplishments I've dreamt. Just in case I need to come up with a new ambition.
