Is it normal to believe that you would give your life for another person's?
Do you have a value system, whereby a person would have to meet certain criteria before you would do this?
If I was willing to give my life for yours out of devotion you did something to earn it. Since you made me care about you so much I cant imagine my world with out you and I feel I ow you a debt.
If I died saving your life out of obligation(since its the right thing to do) than you are just lucky I am a good enough person to not watch bad stuff happen in front of me.
If I was devoted to the point Id die for you that means you could murder me and I would not hold it against you. I would just be happy I served you in my life.
There is a difference between obligated debt vs devoted debt. There is very few I devote myself to. Yet there will always be those I am obligated to. I do not devote myself to anyone.
I'm only responding, in this case to, "But its the money and society that drives criminals."
Most criminals are criminals because they were too lazy to do well in school; even if it is terribly difficult, almost anyone can apply themselves and get an education. Without the education, they turn to "easy money"; drugs, robberies, etc, not the hard work it takes to be a regular wage earner.
It's only desperation if they are lazy; anybody who chooses, can survive on a meager salary and live within their means. It may not be the life they envisioned, but it can be a good, happy life, none the less.
I'd give my life for a person who is really close to me or someone who considers the same principles as me. Atleast, I fantasize so. I've been in a near death situation with a relative and I was prepared to protect them at all costs, even my life. For me, it depends how dire the cause or situation is. Leave people, I'd die for my principles. I think it's a noble way to go.
