Deciding what principle I will always keep no matter the situation
is difficult. There can be many different principles that can be created for
different possible situations but to think of one for all is very hard. When I
think about different principles it is hard to decide on one but I think the
principle I would always live by is to always protect the ones I love.
The reason why I would always stick with this principle no matter
what the situation may be is mostly for one important reason. In my opinion if
there is a really bad situation happening, I probably wouldn't want to live
unless I had a very good reason to. That reason to live would be my loved ones.
I would do anything for them. I would protect them and help them survive for as
long as I possibly can and want the best for them. I would consider them before
myself in things like food and supplies. The only time I would probably be
first is when, if necessary, I would sacrifice myself. Again, that goes with having
a reason to live. If have no reason to live why would I want to survive? Might
as well just die without caring if there is nothing for me to try to survive
for in the worst case scenarios. I probably would not even have somewhere to go
to.
That is my opinion and what
I think. It was a difficult decision but that is the principle I chose to
always keep. No matter what the situation may be, my loved ones will always
come first and I will do anything for them.
Doing anything for them entails doing things that we would not consider to be principled. Your goal of protecting family trumps all other principles. Would you feel the same way if one of your family members acted in a not-so-principled way?
ReplyDeleteYour principle of always protecting your family shows how much you care for them no matter what situation you're in. Although if I were in a difficult situation, I would want to continue to survive in even if they are gone. If you do, you'll be able to remember and cherish your memories of them.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that choosing one principle to live by no matter what is a difficult decision. However, I think making your family the first priority in your life is an amazingly brave principle to keep. When things very severe happen, however, it would be very challenging to keep to your principle. Are you saying that if all your family were dying, you would just kill yourself instead of trying to find help?
