Just a girl. I am a contrary one, but beyond that I am not so unusual, if that is unusual at all. I grew up on a farm, only 35 miles outside of Seattle, closer to Tacoma. Tacoma is a city I lived in for a while. I am now back at the farm, having fully succeeded in not following any of my parent’s advice. Sadly it was all very good advice I didn’t follow. So here I am, eating crow. Were did that saying “eating crow” come from?

What do you live for?

 

 

Is there something that is important enough to you, that you do not care what others say about it. You will defend it.

Your life, your reputation, nothing matters more to you than....?

What would you die for?

What do you live for?

 

"Honor never grows old, and honor rejoices the heart of age. It does so because honor is, finally, about defending those noble and worthy things that deserve defending, even if it comes at a high cost. In our time, that may mean social disapproval, public scorn, hardship, persecution, or as always, even death itself. The question remains: What is worth defending? What is worth dying for? What is worth living for?"

- William J. Bennett In a lecture to the United States Naval Academy November 24, 1997

Not sure at this point in time.  Not a lot of clarity for me, in my life right now.

In the fall and winter my two oldest sisters lost their husbands. Then my mother passed away. A few weeks later my youngest sister was called home. I can honestly say I am living to give my father companionship in his last years.

I like to think that I would die for my faith, but have never been faced with that. I would die for my kids and my husband. And most of the time, they are what makes me want to live - because the more I see and learn the less I see worth it other than them.

This one is challenging. I'll give this one some thought. Thanks for asking Paige.

What I would die for: Assuming I couldn't create/manufacture/effect an alternative, I'd die in order that my mom, by brother, my blood nephew, my step-nephews and step-niece, my s-i-s and my stepdad could live. In that order.

What I live for:

I would die an old lonely virgin hermit to promote the idea that true love and romance is not dead.  It lives on in the hearts of those too lame to be wanted.

Most people don't live for anything these days... they just sort of drift aimlessly.

@Celestial_Teapot - I would hope that planning and forethought go into peoples' life decisions.

I'm just here at the moment. No rhyme or reason, just here. Overall my life isn't worth continuing really, despite other people trying to convince me otherwise. This will be my last year alive, I'm just wanting to go out with a bang: tower hopping in England, spending some time in Japan, and then doing some other stuff I've already committed to. Beyond that, I'll be gone, unless something happens to me first and that wouldn't hurt my feelings either.

Not only was my life not worth starting (nobody's life is worth starting because nobody's life is perfect and only a perfect life would be worth starting), but my life has hit the point where it's pretty much not worth continuing either.

I would die for my faith, or for protecting someone.

As for living, I'm living for God, and hopefully for my future husband and kids I'll have someday.
