Do you do risks in life?

Question

What risks have you done before? Will you do some in the near future, if you have to? Thanks for answering. Peace!

Uhm..take is the word, not do...my bad.

Answer 1

At 27yr I got a divorce. I thought I was invincible, man did I find out fast I wasn't. The things I've done to get people out of trouble & the places it took me really frighten me now. I hate to say 20 yrs later, I still let people talk me into rescueing them.

Answer 2

This question is a broad one that transcends any particular war. Indeed, I could reference the Spartans at Thermopylae as an example, given that they fought to the death in defence of their city-state and all of Greece. (I watched the movie 300 last night.) I suppose that the equivalent question would be does one wish to live with the consequence of not fighting for one's country? There have been a number of invasions in history that were successful simply because the invaded did not wish to oppose the invaders. (Sometimes, they were even welcomed.) This would explain a great many citizens that do not enlist to fight in a war, mainly because they have no stake in the outcome. Looking at it on a social dynamic point-of-view, we are generally willing to risk our lives in defence of our families. This is a basic instinct seen in many species, such as a lioness protecting her cubs. When we extend that idea to a community, it is generally easy to see that a common defence is vital, much like a pride of lions fighting together for all members of their community. With a nation, it begins to stretch this community idea somewhat. While we might know and fight for our neighbours, it becomes a question of whether we extend that notion to other in cities farther away. From a pure instinctial aspect, I would say that it isn't worth it. Yet human societies are more complex than that. Within a nation, there is often a common philosophy, whether it be economic, political, religious, or otherwise. Many people do go beyond the basic idea of community preservation and aspire to these loftier ideals. In that context, then risking one's life in defence of these ideals makes sense. Whether or not it should generate respect from one's countrymen, I doubt that is a sufficient motivation as there are far less risky avenues for that. Instead, I suspect that most who volunteer for this kind of duty are doing so with their own self-respect in mind. That is something that I can respect.
