do you have anyone on this earth that you would die for

[Rising Phoenix]

I have several, I don't now if that speaks for my capacity to love or my lack of self preservation....but still I would give my life for my sis,mom, nephew, bros.......I love them so much

[grannylib]

1. Hubby, daughters, grandkids...you bet.

[emilyg]

2. Daughter, grandsons.

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. My family, the kids I work with

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear Rising Phoenix!

I admire your bravery, but I would not die for anyone...

My feeling is that once you've died, all your influence is gone...

You cannot do anything even remotely concrete for your loved ones...

I have several people that I love beyond all reason...

But I want to live so that I can have the best effect on their lives...

:hug:

[crimsonblue]

12. I must but disagree, my dear Peggy.

I think sometimes influence cannot be truly felt until we are gone. Maybe I'm just in the throws of delirious love, but I would do anything for her. For me, finding love has meant finding someone I care about more than myself. Would I want to ever leave her? No. But if I had to sacrifice for the pinnacle of perfection in my universe, I would do it without hesitation. Hope that makes sense. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Of course it makes sense, sweetie...

I've had feelings like that myself...

But my hard-headed side feels differently...

You are more than entitled to your feelings! I would never argue with such a great love as you have for her...:hug:

[crimsonblue]

26. I'm a bit of a dreamer...

actually, probably borderline quixotic.. :P For some reason, no matter how angry I am going, I cannot wakeup mad or hopeless. It probably stems from my childhood; I've always had this feeling, or intution, that i was going to do great things, but I don't know what it is or how I'm going to get there. She keeps me grounded and reminds me from time to time that it's only windmills in the distance....

[OhioChick]

5. My Husband and Kids....

I'd do anything in the world for them, even die for them.

Reminds me of the movie "John Q" and how he was willing to kill himself to give his kid his heart. I'd do the same under those circumstances.

[Rising Phoenix]

7. there are many people I would give my life for

my life for yours....always worth it

[OhioChick]

19. You're a very compassionate person.

:)

[Rising Phoenix]

28. thank you

[easttexaslefty]

62. sometimes the pain of living

with someone who is gone is so great that death would be sweet relief...........

[crimsonblue]

6. her...

I will follow this woman to hell and back. I will rejoice in the good times, and keep strong in the bad. I will give her my everything, and expect nothing in return. I will allow myself to be completely vulnerable, and will not complain. She is my twin flame.

[Rising Phoenix]

9. she is beautiful

I am very happy for you! :hug:

[crimsonblue]

15. thanks...

She is what makes me the person I am today, makes me want to do things I don't think possible... she is the woman i could never have dreamed for...

[Rising Phoenix]

27. love is amazing

[Fox Mulder]

8. No.

[Rising Phoenix]

10. that impresses me

it really does

[Fox Mulder]

11. ?

[Rising Phoenix]

16. I wish I could love myself as much as you do

:loveyaL

[Fox Mulder]

17. I don't love myself.

I hate myself.

[Rising Phoenix]

18. I feel for you

sometimes i realy hate myself, sometimes I love myself.....why do you hate yourself somuch..you can PM me.... I'd love to chat

[Fox Mulder]

22. I don't ever remember a time where I loved myself.

It's like the more each day passes, the more hatred I have about everything I've become and everything I've done.

Yeah, I've been drinking a little tonight.

[Rising Phoenix]

25. I lovens you

you are a good friend

[OhioChick]

23. It saddens me to hear that.

Learn to love yourself. I'm sure that you have many lovable qualities about yourself.

[Fox Mulder]

31. I'll try to find something.

[OhioChick]

35. Summer is Coming...

Life tends to seem brighter in the warmer months. :hug:

[Pierre.Suave]

24. hey now, I know it gets cold and all here in MN, but...

it aint that bad!

Spring is here, it is nice and warm outside and the flowers and trees are blooming...

:hug:

[Fox Mulder]

30. I wish I had your optimism.

[Pierre.Suave]

36. you do

you just haven't found it yet.

Don't live in the past, tomorrow is a new day. What ever happened then, you can decide to change and be different tomorrow.

[Mojorabbit]

13. yes.... n/t

[Pierre.Suave]

14. Yes

I do.

[DarkTirade]

21. Yeah, but that ain't exactly plan A.

:)

[crim son]

29. I do. My three kids and their father.

After that it gets complicated, because if I die, my children lose their mother which would be a very terrible thing. Had I no kids though, I'd give my life for my sisters and their children.

[SPKrazy]

32. The real crim son appears

I keep seeing crimsonblue and I think oh there's ... wait, it isn't her

:hi:

I would give my life for my son, I will have to think on the rest, but I'd have to think about it further because it does get complicated after that if my son lost his dad. I'd give my life for his mother as I think that he would be in worse off if he lost his mother than his father.

At this time, I'd have to stop it right there. I mean there are people that I think "I'd give my life up to save them if they were in trouble", then if I think about it in terms of what that would mean to my son, you're right.


Had I no kids, It's not a long list, but there's a few people yeah

:hi:

:hug:

[crim son]

34. Then we agree on the basics.

Pawpicker! I'm watching a movie and periodically switching back and forth to email, DU etc. SO tired though I napped this afternoon/evening. Bad arthritis. You? Wassup?

[SPKrazy]

Me barely crimmie

I'm getting the need to close one eye...

I've got a cold, and allergies and coughing, sore throat, hoarse, and run down.

Aren't you glad you asked :P

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl

:hi:

:hug:

[Pierre.Suave]

33. I would give my life for...

one night with Crim Son...

:P

[crim son]

37. ...and you wouldn't regret it, either!

:P

At least, I'd try my darndest. :loveya:

[Pierre.Suave]

38. LOL

If I am going to die, I am going out in style babe!

:P

[crim son]

39. Then may I recommend another final moment?

Maybe with the Lioness or BareNakedLady? I'm sorta like your mother, but more needy. :D

[Pierre.Suave]

40. Lioness does not like me

BNL, sure but you are my first choice.


You will do just fine...

:rofl:

[crim son]

42. DONE!

Advise me of the time and place...:rofl:

[Breeze54]

41. My kids, my siblings...

Well; most of them! :P

[drmeow]

43. I'm not sure it is ever possible

to know until you are faced with the opportunity (poor choice of words, perhaps :))

I think in life threatening situations, we all have the capacity to surprise ourselves (not for long if we've given our lives, of course) by dying for someone or something you never would have thought of dying for. Also, we might do something that could cause our death without thinking we were dying for someone (diving into water to save someone who is drowning, for example). I think we have instincts which we may not be aware of until they are triggered. Its sort of like the say, "A woman is like a tea bag, you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water" (don't know if I got the saying right but you get the point).

[Jamastiene]

44. The depth of your love...

is most likely what that speaks to. I, too, have people I would die for. :hug:

[Aristus]

45. My wife:

And my grandson:

[Forkboy]

46. A couple people, and a few ideals as well.

[Rhythm]

47. Yeah... Oktoberain and OktoberKid

my other relatives, and hers, i would risk Grievous Bodily Injury for... but the two of them are my heart and soul.

[Guava Jelly]

48. Oh yes

Several.

[NJmaverick]

49. Yes there are and there have been

[La Lioness Priyanka]

50. yes, unfortunately i doubt that you can actually even make that choice

there are plenty of people who i would rather die for than they die. unfortunately i doubt that i would have a choice in that matter

[easttexaslefty]

63. unfortunately, you rarely get that choice n/t

[applegrove]

51. Same here.

[Giant Robot]

52. Speaking honestly

I would say that in some type of romantic tripe but truthfully in my heart I would know I was a coward and could never do that if given the choice.

Then Little Robot came along and I know that I would lay down in the highway for her, and all I would do would be to ask for some Tylenol first so it did not hurt quite so much. I know at some point her actions and choices are going to disappoint and hurt me even, but I feel now that I would always give her the world. My life included.

[ChazII]

53. of course. n/t

[Fran Kubelik]

54. several

I am lucky to have such love in my life.

[av8rdave]

55. Wife and kids

[WritingIsMyReligion]

56. No.

There are people for whom I wish I would die, for whom I would give any help possible and listen to any thing necessary, but I agree with Peggy upthread that death solves no issues but the issue of life, and I would rather be loved in life than only truly realized after my death. I have a feeling that dying for them would only sadden these people, not improve their lives, which I do not want to do to those I love.

ETA: I saw a quote once--somewhere!--that sums my feelings up perfectly: "It is harder yet more lasting to live for someone than to die for him."

[datasuspect]

57. there are several people i will kill for

[Danger Mouse]

58. i'd like to say i would die to protect some people of great importance of me...

but i wouldn't know unless i was actually in that situation.

[Heidi]

59. Makes more sense to live for those people and things I love than to die for them. (nt)

[easttexaslefty]

60. Yes,

I would have easily died for my son and still would for the other one

[femmocrat]

61. Yes, my children.

:hug: It's great to be a Mom this weekend! :)

[Zuiderelle]

64. Without hesitation.
