So, I've been talking to alot of my friends lately; and I kinda want to bring something up, but it's really awkward to bring up in normal conversation.
Topic: Who would you die for?
I had a dream, and kinda had an idea for a movie. Imagine 7 students, from different parts of the united states, who are kidnapped by an ex-military psycho, they are put in a room about the size of an average classroom "looks unmistakenably like Mr. C's room. Their captor comes over the intercom and says "6 of you will walk away from here unharmed, however 1 of you won't be as serindipitous (it was around the time of a vocab test... weird right?). "The one that doesn't make it will take in the head, as many men I've lost in war (I had watched "The Rock" and the whole, taking revenge for military was kind of stuck in there). Turns out the guy lost 7 men in war (in the dream).
So, they all start gasping, and watching the speaker. Eventually they all move to the edges of the room, so not to be anywhere near anyone else (because the've no idea who eachother are). the 7 people were kind of summaries of everyone I know, bunched into different personalities; execpt for the military guy. He came straight out of the movie... with a Joker mentalility. ("WSS") Anyways, in the end I woke up before anyone died, kinda disapointed me.
It got me thinking, that in that situation; who would I die for? and why?
It came down to this: If I were in that room, I would've died for everyone in that room. As for why, I'm not sure. It's not that I've got a death wish, but if it came down to 1 vs. 100 I'd be proud to be that 1.
I kinda compared it to when 2 families go out for dinner, and the check comes "Oh, no. We'll take care of the bill" "No, we will. We insist". I just don't know that anyone would oppose it.
I've got to go, I'm fading quickly over here, and I got lot's to do before spring break shoves it's nasty head into my life. :)
Happy trails to you... until, we meet again...
