[WE-164] Death Dilemma: I Will Save My Life to Live a Bit Longer
Kill or be killed? If I'm ready to die, then I'll die. But if not, I have no choice, I have to act based on what they want me to do. It doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong. In this situation, all I can do is to follow what they ordered me to do. And if I ever follow what's right and I die because of my good deeds and I am recognized by some people, will that ever make me rise from the ground? Can I get back the life I have lost?
Seriously, choosing which involves life and death is really hard, especially when it's not just me who's involved in it. And you know what? I think even if I cut open my head to find an answer on what to do in that kind of situation, just to save both of us, I could never find a good answer because I'm stupid.
This might be a simple question, but it happens in real life. And the worst part is that refusing to give an answer or act will be the end of it. Especially if you were questioned by those people who kill brutally and will never think twice about putting a slit in your neck or a bullet in your head.
But If there's an option where I can save both myself and that fellow countryman, then I can do that. But if it requires deep thinking and a very solid plan, then I have to think first. Without an option, then that will be a different matter.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do if I'm ever put in that kind of situation. But right now, based on what I believe and just how much I value my life, call me greedy, who only thinks about herself, I was just given that small chance to live a little longer, even if the chance that I might come back home is still low, so why would I choose not to grab it? I mean, I have the right to choose what I want, and it was given to me anyway, so I will choose my life over anyone else, and to myself, choosing to live is never wrong.
I will kill if I have to, and I mean, it is not just them who have family waiting for them. We all have our own reason to live. I too, of course, have my loved ones waiting for me, and most importantly, that is my one last chance, MINE and not theirs. Kill or be killed, I'd rather kill then. I am a selfish prick, yes, but I just want to live. Is that wrong? I will dirty my hands if I have to, so that this chance and this little hope that was given to me will be my bullet to keep on fighting for my life.
Slitting someone's neck will never be easy, nor will putting a bullet in someone's head. For sure, the trauma I can get and the guilt I have to bear in my heart will forever haunt me for killing someone. But that's the punishment I have to pay for choosing my life. I will accept that, as long as I get my chance to live and to be home. And I will live, and I will forever remember that day when, with my own hand, I killed someone.
It's really hard to choose, but I have to decide. And so I will choose my life. Sorry.
Hello guys! Happy weekend to everyone! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.
And this is my entry for this week's weekend engagement concept, week 164. I chose the death dilemma as my topic.
Your country is at war, and you're captured. The enemy tells you to execute one of your compatriots for spying, or they will execute you immediately. What do you do and why? A post of 300+ words is required, using your own photos if possible.
Feel free to join too, guys, just HIT ME!
All images are mine, captured using my Oppo. I used myself and my Mama as subjects. As for why it is a scissor instead of a knife, well, I think a knife is a bit scary, so I just used a scissor as a weapon. I hope you all like it. Thank YOU FOR READING!
If there's a way to save both of us, I will do it than kill someone...
For sure, there is always a way..if not, I guess I rather die than bear the guilt forever.. It won't make me live in peace...

We're not sure especially base sa scenario, it's gard to choose pero if di kaya mg konsensya talagang may pipili pa rin ng tulad sa sagot mo, baka nga may mas marami pang ganyan ang sakit. Kasi, I mean, killing? My gosh, that's really hard to do. Pero to some na sanay na pag kill, kung makautos sila para lang nagpapatimpla ng kape 🙄😭, wag naman sanang mangyari ang ganito sa totoong buhay.

It's a tough decision really, and I don't think there's a wrong or right response or answer, just the individuals' answer.
To save oneself is probably something many would do and without further clarification or context of the situation it makes sense that you would go that way.
Thanks for tackling one of the more difficult topics.
True, and what if it is in "real life" situation. It's hard to choose but I think if the killer command to kill while using timer, even if you don't want to use the weapon, you will still use it because of how scary the situation is, especially while in panic. It's doesn't matter anymore if it's wrong.
That's a really difficult choice, in a hypothetical case, to be honest I don't know what I would do. I would like to write about this topic, but I'm still not sure what I think I would do in such a situation, although I liked your reason for your choice, it seems to be a good reason for those who love life.
Really difficult, what if that happens in real life no? Gosh, I am not sure if I will still chose this or just rather die.
You still have plenty of time to write about this topic 😁
I like your sincerity. Your reasons are understandable, I had not thought about it from this point of view.
I also liked the photos, I found them very much in keeping with the theme 😉.
Greetings 🤗
Thank You, hehe. Even I, had thr hard time answering it 😆
Thank You so much, I also love them and I don't know I just got inspire shoooting it for this particular topic, 😁
These topics put us between a rock and a hard place 🙈.
And so am I. Who the hell wouldn’t???

actually I don't think it's a hard choice. We all have an instinct to save our life, and we all will do our best to do it. BUT only if we want to live.
There are many people who live but they don't want to. In this case they will take their killers as salvation...
Just thinking about it parang do ko kaya, siguro mamatay na Ako kahit di pa nila Ako patayin. I can't think of killing others but we can't tell, we don't know if we are in the situation.
That's what I thought first, pero just thinking na mamamatay ako sa pain ee diko kaya, Ill kill nalang. We have different choices talaga no, ang ano lang dun is, kapag nandun na talaga, makapag decided pa kaha tayo agad lol
Awesome @ruffatotmeee , I guess, none would say your selfish when it comes to self preservation, by nature we all want to live.. perhaps, a good understanding also why we soldiers kill or fight. We don't kill because we hate the ones in front of us.. we fight because we loved those whom we left behind., We don't have to die for our cause, we let them die for theirs.😊
Right, you get my point, killing is bad of course, a great sin, but I just want to live. I dont have much of a choice either, and I badly want to live.
