So the other night I had a dream that included a friend on fubar that I consider to be very near and dear to my heart.
What I can remember about it was that him and I were on some type of game/reality tv show kind of like The Power of Truth. You know the whole liar detector test and finding out things you may or may not want to hear....especially from a loved one. The question basically was this...If you and your friend were faced with a compromising situation beyond control and you had to take your friend's life to save your own....Could you? Would you?
I had to sit back and think about this for a moment. What makes his/her life more worthwhile than mine or vice versa? Would my death or theirs have a life changing impact on someone? Could I even bring myself to make such a horrible decision that could affect me and everyone else?
Well it was enough to wake me and actually sadden me to think that it's possible in this day and age to be presented with a situation like this...but it can and probably has happened somewhere in the world.
I could never take a life over my own and even more so if was someone that I cherished. I'm not even sure how the dream ended...maybe I didn't want to know how my friend would answer...hopefully I nor they would ever have to find out.
