I would not die for anyone, but I'd die for me.
Not exactly for egotism, but for freedom. I'd rather die standing than live on my knees. Or in other words, if I was between the sword and the wall, I'd fight till I win, or I'd fight till I die.
That is not to say that I could predict that it would be my reaction in a sudden, violent life-or-death situation, since it has never happened to me yet (I could perfectly chicken out). But I definitely value much more freedom than safety. |
