Who You Would Die For List

List whose lives you'd sacrifice yours to protect as a meaning-of-life clarification.

Inspired by the young man in the link, probably the most beautiful story I've ever read, about a little boy who saved his little sister from a German shepherd dog. He had 90 stitches all over his body, but saved his three-year-old sister from certain death. He said: "If anyone has to die, it would be me, I am the big brother"

So this would be kind of a life clarification, make a list of how many people in your life you'd gladly sacrifice your life to protect. Don't share it with anybody, it's not a virtue signal, but in a weird way it can be a rare insight into the meaning of life itself. Who you would die for, ironically, can elucidate the core meaning of your life.

       make a list......

       Disputed. He's not asking us to make a list in the comment section.

       My list is small, or incredibly huge, depending upon how it is viewed.   

       "list - the invention itself is intended as a parlour game to be played in its annotations. For example, everybody posts their favorite names, or whom they'd eat first if they were stuck with humanity on a desert island, or people write a story by each appending a single word." When is asking for a list to be made not asking for a list to be made?

       It's not a list //intended as a parlour game to be played in its annotations//, it's an exercise to clarify the meaning of life for the specific person.   

       Kind of telling how you'd want this taken down.

       When is a list not a list? Answer when you say the list is not a list, despite calling it a list. "make a list of...." Your own words.

       You clearly misunderstood the rules about no lists utilizing the comments section as: "a parlour game to be played in its annotations" but since we're being rules rats:   

       //Account Termination:   

       The halfbakery can kick users out without warning, explanation, or appeal, at the sole discretion of the website's operator.   

       Good ways of getting kicked out are to ABUSE THIS SITE FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES.//   

       As you can see, there's great leniency granted here, so let's stop pointing fingers eh?   

       But tell you what. If this triggered you, maybe I'll take it down as a nice gesture. Seems like you're having some issues and I don't want to be unkind.   

       So do you want me to take this down? Yes or no answers only please.

       I never requested that it's "taken down". I merely pointed out that it's a list, which it is. Meanwhile, if you want to ask Jutta to delete my account, go ahead. Let's see how that works out for you.
xenzag, Apr 22 2025
  

       I've not only never wanted somebody deleted, I've never even put up a MFD unlike you who seems obsessed with trolling with never ending hate filled diatribes about the same political subject over and over and over and over. But thanks for polluting this beautiful story with your searing hatred that seems to be the main motivation for your very existence.   

       But oh well, it is what it is. Like I've said before, "You do you, I'll do me. Let's just let each other be."
