Many people profess to have an ideology, morality, family member, institution or some other idea or construct they say, "I would die for______________", filling in the blank with whatever they hold to that level of worth. Tangible or intangible.
It is the other side of this that I am curious about. What would you kill for? Dying is a passive act. It is a conclusion to action, for the person who is dying there it total finality. But if you kill for your cause, belief, idea, institution of family you are still alive to experience the results, the effects, the history and consequence of action.
How often have you heard someone say they would do "anything" for such and such? But yet the same person seems unable to do the small steps that would ultimately lead to the same place. Like a poor person hoping to win it big in the lottery almost.
But the very same thing you profess you'd die for, would you instead take action? Kill for it?
Would you?
