I have taken risks. I have been in situations where I didnīt know if I had something to eat the next week. I like taking risks. I like trying new things and I would never start anything just because it is supposed to be that way.

This is not about a real situation, or something that I am arguing against. I am just thinking about these things a lot. They are interesting puzzles.

For example: I am against torture. I would not toruture anybody, not even if that could lead to the discovery of a bomb somewhere or save my own life.
However... what if that person holds my husband, or a child of mine (I have no children btw).
What would I do than?

Principles are more difficult to live by if it is not just you but other people that you are responsable for as well.
