Warning: Um, this post starts nice then ends mean, this isn't aimed at anyone in particular, just a few replies and I guess probably society in general because they're likely to think that.
Ughh, if it HAD to be the million or nothing, I wouldn't take it. As much as I hate humans I don't know, there's gotta be somebody for me (yeah go song lyrics o3o) or at least I'm hoping so, and in which case, I could have destroyed any chance of that, and yeah, my happiness comes into it too, since there are many factors affecting why I wouldn't. Another factor is... I'd just feel really guilty, I mean, I still feel bad for accidentally killing my quail.. God, if it wasn't done by accident, then I'd feel remorse forever, idk, it'd really get to me.
This in a way, is kinda similar to stealing. I wouldn't steal anyone elses stuff because I don't want to ruin an aspect of their lives in any possible way, and ending a life.. I would not do that. And even if there's noone for me, there's still a whole lot of friends I haven't met yet, and even if the friends I have now are nice, I just wouldn't want to as I still really want to meet a lot of people.
But hey, what if the random person was your future child too? Yeah wouldn't that just suck? :D Orrr, what if someone pressed the button and killed YOU.
Killed someone you love... ruined their lives as well as yours - that part of you could also be missing. Yeah, now I'm bringing karma into it like if you do something bad, something bad will happen to you, but really, that's how I see it.
Oh and. Money. Why should money equate to the loss of another's life?
SINCE WHEN HAS MONEY EVER MADE A DIFFERENCE? Even if you had no money, SOMEONE in this world would be nice enough to help you out, if you killed someone you could ruin said chance for another. Ultimately that could lead to another life lost.
And what the hell, why should ANYONE ever use the excuse that said person was going to die very soon. That doesn't matter. In those last few seconds SOMEONE could develop SOMETHING to help save their lives. If you have that attitude you might as well kill yourself now, because you have no compassion for other human beings. Why bother living on earth if you don't care about anyone else? Seriously, why bother existing?
Even if people around you die and you weren't involved, WHY CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEATHS? It's giving up someone elses LIFE. SOMEONE'S LIFE. Everything... those nine months spent in labour by that person's mother, the pain, the suffering, the life, the future, the destiny, their reason for living.. it'll all be gone.
I don't know how anyone COULD NOT CARE ABOUT BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR ONE'S DEATH. If you love killing random people so much, go be a murderer and go rot in jail where the rest of us who want to enjoy life don't have to put up with any of you. AND YET, most people that would take the million dollars would actually object to murdering anyone themselves. Yeah that's logic for ya. :D
I believe that everyone has some sort of destiny, and ending that earlier than expected, that's... just sad.
Also, as much as I'd like to do something bad to the robbers, I wouldn't. If you do that, you're just putting yourself on the same level as all the sick, twisted idiots that are in society. If you just killed them all, the world would be a better place, but no, that can't happen. So that rules out killing the idiots.
So how about killing a generally nice, good person, who actually made a contribution to life on earth? And no, this does not mean celebrities. I don't know why people immediately think of celebrities being the ones you'd hate to have killed. Since when should their lives be compared to someone who actually changed the world, made an improvement to the world... This meaning a doctor, someone that saves lives-- oh, I know why you don't care, because you want to end lives, right, I get it. o3o Though this isn't saying celebrities should die, but it is saying you should instead feel remorse for those that save lives.
...
Yeah, that was basically how I feel about it, again, not directed at anyone in particular, society in general. :3 And I'm sorry if I offended anyone by my views, I didn't mean to.
