Question about death
Do any other men ever have thoughts of not wanting their death to be inevitably a sad and depressing death? Sometimes I think that everyone must die anyway so a more honorable way to die is to die for a cause. Like fighting for a cause, protecting your family, dying for your country or something. It sounds silly but I've always read stories of war heroes of the people who jumped on a grenade to save their fellow troops. Or the navy seal who was shot several times and still managed to kill several enemies and then eventually run out of bullets and kill 2 with his bare hands before dying. Ive always had this primal feeling that this type of person is the pinnacle of a man and its something I dont think I'll ever have the opportunity to do. I think bravery and sacrifice is the biggest virtue a man can have. Its a selfless way to die that I think almost anyone can respect. No one argues the police that died in the twin towers were wrong in doing what they did. Theyre even admired by their enemies that hate them.
