Money, shame, fortune?... or love ?

Post by Zinrius » 14 Jun 2011, 14:59

What would you rather go for ?

On one hand, you would be the richest most powerful and feared person in a state but your life is filled with dangers and you have control of who goes and who stays in this living realm.

On the other, you would be a regular person living a humble life, struggling but living life the normal way without risking anyone's life or taking life with your loved one.

What would you choose ?

I technically live one of those lives already, so I think my case invalidates it.

I'd probably prefer a middle way, but since I have to choose - the latter. I'd rather have a hard life full of fulfillment than a superficially enjoyable life with constant risks.

I believe what makes us evil is when we force others to make sacrifices for our own agendas. In most cases I would even go as far as saying that this is the case even if our agenda is a kind of greater good, e.g. a virtuous life (see religious fanaticism) or equality (see communism).
And since I don't want to be an evil person, I'd rather choose the hard life.

I like how forums have people with very little to say that "quote the quotes" of others to respond which basically add nothing new/fresh to the topic.

Now, onto my opinion. If I had no other choice except the ones posted in the OP, I would go for the first one. I'm a girl of needs and seeing how love is such an empty word in my dictionary I would rather play the game of life in a way that I can step on someone without a care in the world... Love ? It could happen during my reign of chaos as I swim in a pool of hundred dollar bills and dry myself off with the skin of my victims.

Yes yes.

On the third hand (what the hell ojamamask you have three hands!!!!!) You would be the richest most powerful person in the world, without risking anyone's life or taking the life of your loved one or even making big decisions. Just perfect.
