Would you accept a fatal mission in exchange for a lifetime of support for your family?
This is another question from “3000 Questions About You,” and this one had me wrestling. One, I don’t have family that I’m close to…at least not biologically. My friends have become my family so, in that sense, I would do anything for them. But I couldn’t just answer this question without having more information.
What does the “lifetime of support” entail? Is it emotional? Financial? Spiritual? Physical? Or all of them? I think the answer would have to be “all of them” for me to accept a fatal mission. There is no doubt in my mind that if I had the ability to ensure my friends were taken care of in all these ways for the rest of their lives, I would risk my own life.
The other question I had was “does this include everyone that I consider family?” Do I get to choose the people who get this support? Is there a limit to the number of people I can include? Then there’s the obvious of “who provides this support?” What happens if that person dies, or the organization goes out of business before my family is gone? Will the support continue?
As you can tell, I’m not the type of person who does things without a lot of consideration. I rarely make rash decisions. I have to mull over major decisions for a long time, weighing the pros and cons before finally making up my mind. Even if I had all the answers to this one, I’d still have to spend some time thinking about it to see if I came up with more questions.
What about you? Is this something you could do without hesitation? Would you have questions?
