so is there anyone here who feels like they could be a martyr for a cause? - Help.com

Fortunately, there is nothing that I’m that passionate about.

martyrs are bad, plus the world sucks and there’s nothing to stand for anymore

what’s to be passionate about? music has gone to hell, so has music production.
people suck, just when you find someone to look up to you see they are just as flawed and stupid as you. the world is falling apart and we’re all too dumb to realize it. the glory days are gone

Maybe we’re not very passionate because in today’s society, we simply don’t have to be. It’s way easier to be drone passing through life, right?

wtf?

pwned by teh filtorz again Texas :P

I wouldnt say a martyr is a bad thing at all, someone dying for a cause they believe in so strongly is a pretty admirable thing.

I have this pretty amazing book my mum gave me when i was young, full of stories of different christian martyrs throughout the ages and how they died for their faith.
im not christian in any way, shape, or form, but i still find it pretty insane that someone has a belief that strong.

i sadly, no not have any beliefs that strong, other than perhaps if chocolate is involved :P

when I go for demonstrations in my country ( protesting to elections, as u may have heard ) and all the violence , I feel no fear and I feel that if I am going to be killed right now, I have missed nothing .
what about all of those people being killed ? in which way am I different or more precious than them ? I’m not sure but maybe having no fear means that I am ready to die for democracy …

maybe hard situations make people fearless and fades away the passion for life, all of u living in free societies, and having the oppurtunity to express ur own beliefs and thoughts, have no reason to fight for anything, u have all that u want …
I hope freedom and democracy for all of u will last and I hope we will also come to democracy one day . and I hope ur life would be full of passions ….
