Will you risk your life for someone you dont know??

I would attempt to save someone if i knew i could. Otherwise it would play on my mind forever. Its funny you brought this topic up because i actually did save someone the other day. I was at the beach with some friends and there was a really bad current going out to see... i got a bit stuck in it and was getting worried so i started swimming back into shore but then i heard someone screaming for help. I couldnt help but swim to their aid, i was a bit scared because i have heard of people trying to rescue people at see and the person being rescued drowns the rescuer, luckily this didnt happen and i managed to pull him to shore. I guess all those mornings training in the pool paid off at school ;)

It's not so selfish but it's the most reasonable way to do for the cause that to learn what is the meaning of love you must love your self first. And if you are willing save lives you mustn't risk you live only to save them instead try to live to save him/her

if the situation calls for it why not, right? Your friend's idea is just his principle and belief as of the moment. No matter what his beliefs are there's always this part of us to extend help to those in need.

Yes, I would also do the same thing. I feel like it is natural to want to help somebody who is in danger, but I guess a lot of people would disagree. If there was a situation where it was blatantly obvious that someone could not be saved, I might reconsider it. For example, if a building was on fire and was so engrossed in flames that even the firefighters were pulled out, but someone was obviously in the building, I would not try to enter the building. Other than that type of situation, though, I think like you do. Humans need to care about other humans. All life is precious. This makes me think of all of the U.S. military who are overseas now risking their lives to protect the country and all Americans. Where would we be if they weren't doing this? And they don't know me...

Taking risk is good and for some one u dont know is really a boon. but taking risking life for some one u dont know is some thing to think. as u also have ur own people for u for life so just take max to save you but do not go back to take risk for others. Its is really a boon to take risk for others. But try to get ur life at the same time. Take care and have fun. risking is real fun in life. but risking life is not fun.

I will probably not risk my life for someone I don't know. Call it anything you like but what important with me is my grandmother , I will risk everything for her even my own life. I guess helping other people is a must but giving them your life is another matter. I am maybe selfish but would you really do it in real life?. I need to live for I am still needed by a lot of people, those people who had no directions, if I will die I will never had a chance to help this people because I had offered my life to only one.

it depends if the person you are going to save deserves to live, example is a political icon.

I couldn't be like your friend. I see so much in this world I'd love to fix and know I can't because of means and/or opportunity. I would love to be able to help others more and if it came down to it I'd like to think I'd put another's life before my own. When I first read the discussion all I could think of was my neice when she was very little. We'd gone to the store and on the way out I realized somehow or another she didn't have her shoes on. I asked her where they were and she said she'd left them in the store in case some little girl needed. That really touched me at the time and still does. I wish we could all think that way, to help another when they might need it. Not for rewards or recognition but just because.

I think we must hear what our heart say. For example, when we see someone who try to rob in a bus. We must try to stop that. And there's so much way to do that. But when after our effort we los our lives, at least we die with do something good in the end of our live in this world. Although it will be sad, but our family will be proud for us too. And it's honour too for us and for our family

This a very selfish and cruel thing for your friend to feel and say.. She should hope that people don't think like her when she needs help..I do care for all people and in fact I did endangered myself at least one time for people I don't know.. luckily it all ended well.

Nah i dont think dat i would mah life for whom i dont know..

i cant say anything because i havnt been in such asituation .without being in such a situation how can anybody say anything,unless we have done a thing we cant say that we have done it.

If i like the concept which will feel better to me if he/she is unknown also i will help and risk my life.If i like some one i will do anything for them.

Yes, even it is stranger, they are still our kind. Human kind and still was created by God. If you are risking your life for your families, thats suppose to be done. But for stranger, you will get a greate credit for that and God will award you with something great for what you have done. My answer is yes!! I would risk my life for someone that I dont even know if that can save that person. I think you friend idea is selfish as you cannot live with just your family. you need friends and community.

Don't know.. Depends on the person, if he/she is inncocent and can't help themselves, i will definitely help them.

Yes of-coures if a person is in danger we never bothered about risk involved and we only try to the rescue the life of the person. We knew we are at risk only when a third person who vitnesses the incident shouts us at. Just imagine Tsumani, earth quakes lot of people who have lost their families still try to resue the unknowns who are at risk.

to be honest , NO i wont , one should have great personality to do this ,, good luck

I Don't quite know what i would do in that situation. In fact just the other my brother and i were talking and he said if we happened to be in a robbery then he'd trip my mum so she would go down. I suppose if it were my family i would stand in front of them to protect them. It would be a natural instinct. But risking my life for someone i just met i don't think i'm that chivalrous to be honest. I would perhaps help until the point where my life comes first. selfish but true.
