Thread: are we sacrificing ourselves for something right?

I know that God says not to sacrifice ourselves but I think sometimes people just have to much pride like I said and it happens. I myself don't wanna die for something I love, but I have thought about somethings I would die for.

Hmmm... We fight to do something right... To clear the wrong and change it all... Its helpful to help others but it depends if you are helping the right or the wrong side... Its not necessary to go to a war, because a man's life is very important, it should not be wasted... A soldier makes a hard decision if he continues and move to the battle field... "Offering soldiers to the dead..?" Its a wrong term for this, they are not offer to the dead... They are the hero's of every people's lives, as if they die, they die with honor... Just like samurai's that sacrifice their lives just to protect their teritory... Its also the soldiers way of living, ranks are not that important... Their lives are priceless than the badge that are sticked in both shoulders... Hmmm...

We are not sacrificing our lives for something right...
We just fight and not intentionally to kill,
Its the way of our lives flow,
If you don't want to be killed so kill them first...
`Cause you think you fight for right...

Everyone has a reason to fight, but it ultimately comes down to fighting for ourselves. When you're out in the field, staring down a gun barrel, you cease to think about ideals like "democracy," you think "I really don't want to die." And you do something about it. But why you're in the field, that's what it boils down to. War is a necessary evil; if you have to go, know why you enlisted.

To answer that you have to first ask yourself what you believe in.

Do you believe in natural rights. That everyone has the right to determine their own government. That mass genocide, torture, and state sponsered terrorism of it's citizens are wrong? That people should be able to speak their minds without being executed?

If you the answer is yes then you have to ask whether you feel it is worth standing up for those beliefs even when it is someone else who is being affected? Do you care enough about others to want to do what you can?

If the answer to that is yes then the answer to all of it is also yes. That is what sacrife means after all. To give up something for something greater. There is not much greater then love of humanity. If you are not willing to sacrifice it all for that then it is not truly a sacrifice.

well uh, you got me, but what do we want right? right laws? right clothes? what s our most interest of keeping things right from killing ourselves to get it?

There is nothing wrong with helping out just because you can unless its for glory. Sometimes you gain something from helping someone but most of the time you don't so don't do it just for that. Its more important to just help and reap the benefit of being a good person.
