A lot of people think that "Dying for someone" is the ultimate act of altruism,the ultimate act o courage and love.But I don't think that most people thought it through well.What happens after this act of bravery?
A person just died.For me.Now,I would feel a little bit sad and confused,because I just let a person die for my well-being.Now what?If the person who died for me isn't part of the family,what would his family say?Would they feel as I feel,or would they fill regret and anger?
I don't know about you,but I can sense a little bit of selfishness around this.Because,now,despite the fact that someone gave his/her LIFE for you,it left you ALONE to battle what comes next and naturally.
What do you think on the "die for someone" thesis?Are you OK with that?What's you opinion about it?

I wouldn't want someone to die for me. My boyfriend has said a few times that he'd take a bullet for me and honestly, I believe that he would if we were ever in a situation like that. As nice as that may sound coming from him, I would never want him to do that. If something were to happen to him and I'm left here without him, I'd go nuts and I'd be seriously depressed. I would also feel extremely guilty even though it would be his choice. But bottomline, I don't want him to do that for me ever. Yes, it sounds nice and it makes me feel really good because I can see how much he loves me, but he should just leave it just saying he would, I wouldn't want him to actually do it.

Hi,
Giving is a great gift. If you give to others, the God wait give to you. No gift is as great as sacrificing one's own life. We also learn that we should be true to our words. The great people can do this. It is very difficult for common people. We may die for our beloved one it is very difficult to die for saving others life.
