    would you have it in your will and intentions to die for a cause? are there certain causes you strongly believe in hence might die fighting for them? or you just don't have the intact devotion and/or heart to actually do it?
     
    I'm not willing to sacrifice myself for anything largely because of the lack of will that I have to accomplish the task.
     
    No, I don't believe I would willingly die fighting for a cause, nor religion. I don't know why I would choose to die for the cause rather than keep fighting, breathing and ultimately keep pushing for the cause. I can understand the affects of dying for your cause, willingly or not. MLK achieved much more in death than he did in life, for starters.
     
    No, I wouldn't, and to be honest the whole concept of martyrdom annoys me. What good can you possibly do for your cause if you're dead? It's absolutely ridiculous. Martyrs are worthy of Darwin Awards in my opinion lol
     
    I wouldn't knowingly die for a cause, but I certainly would do things that put my life in great danger for a cause, like helping people overseas in dangerous situations etc.
     
    Don't think so, I rather fight to the end or until achieve what I desire (the reason for the fight).
     
    Odd, here nobody wants to die, yet in that Zombie thread most people wanted to kill themselves in the most brutal ways. It could just be a different selection of users in here though.

    On topic: I wouldn't. Maybe if I were living under really, really terrible circumstances. But even then, only maybe.
     
    No, I wouldn't. Not even for something as near and dear to my heart as anime. I just don't have the willpower to give up my entire life for something like that.

    Now, maybe once I get older, when I'm already in bad health and I'm going to die soon anyway, that might change, but for now I have too much life left to give it up for a cause.
     
    No way! I can do a lot more for my cause when I'm still up and breathing. >:)
     
    I'm a sacrificial person, but my life is something that I don't see myself sacrificing. Risking is one thing, but just giving up for something? Nah.
     
    The only situation I can imagine myself doing this in is a situation where I know I won't make it much longer. Like if me and a group of people [that I liked] were kidnapped by alien terrorists and I knew if I ran at them and became a major distraction that my group would be able to get away to safety, I might do it for their sake. But I don't see myself being in this kind of situation ever.

    All in all, I'm pretty scared of dying and I'm also scared of having a slow death or something. That and I'm fairly apathetic in a lot of things in life... I just don't think there would ever be something I cared enough about that I would sacrifice myself for it. :/
     
    On the whole, I'd say there's little I would die for, and it better be for a really, really good reason. Like, saving more than a handful of people reason.

    You see, in that situation I would go ahead and die because I'm saving the entire world from zombie apocalypse. That's something I'd go for.

    Jumping in front of a bullet to save a loved one, or going out to war of my own free will... just can't do it. I'm too afraid to die, and I'm not that dedicated to those things. Even if not jumping the bullet would make me feel guilty the rest of my life. It's fun to be a coward. ;~;
     
    I'd sacrifice myself only for a friend at brink of death. And it'd have to be a very close friend. Say he/she were on train/subway tracks, unconscious. I'd jump down there and pick them up, even if it meant my own life. But that's the only scenario I can think of.
     
    Probably not. I'm much to selfish a person to die for a cause. I really, really like being alive, even if it means 'causes' aren't properly met in my lifetime.
