If by agreeing to do so, it meant world peace for 50 years?
(This sacrifice means you'd never see your family, loved ones, never have money / safe housing etc.... but world peace means no wars, no famine etc)

I don't think so. I feel really bad for saying that though. Iwould do whatever I could... but I don't think I could give away all hope of happiness.

Talk to our U.S. American fighting forces. We do that every day with the HOPES of peace and freedom!
I went for 13 months, twice at 12 months each, and twice for 6 months without seeing or talking to my family. Not counting several 10 days to 2 months on temporary assignments. Letters took 10-14 days to go ONE WAY. During my 13 month separation, I got no mail for almost 6 months and only an occasional 'ham-radio-phone patch' for a few minutes ("I love you, over") with the whole world able to listen in with a short wave radio.
Would I do it again (did it for over 20 years), you bet your sweet a.s.s. I would!

But been happy with what we had comrade-ship, trust a will to work to make things better for the next generation and look what they turned out to be Work shy happy to live on hand-outs we done our bit but they messed up Why should we go through it all again people reap what they sow greed you can't eat but can kill for.So all the things you asked for we have been through .Now happy retired have not a care in the world.god bless.

Heck no. You loose your personal happiness you loose who you really are. When this happens you are not being how God wants you to be. No matter what there will never be world Peace until the new Millennium

I have done this but nothing to do with world peace..just something more of a personal nature.

God, of course! But the snag is that so many people have tried to do it in the past an ended up ignored and forgotten about.

Many have done just that for the cause of a united Ireland.

I dont quite see the point in this fantasy, but taken as fantasy, Id say Yes, definitley. I guess the question would better to be are you selfless?
