Which of these matters more to you?

Question

a) the happiness of your family

b) your own well-being

For example, if you had an illness, and you knew that your family would be heartbroken to find out you had it, and you couldn't get help for it without them finding out, what would you do?

a) keep quiet about it and keep your family in blissful ignorance

b) get treatment and hurt them

Answer 1

letter B cuz your self being is important. If parents worried about you they show concern about you so even you got an unexpected illness they still show love to you.Then if you are ok your parent will be happy again and show more love and caring for you.

Answer 2

Id get treatment and hurt them. If i die they'll feel hurt anyway plus feel upset i hadn't shared it with them

Answer 3

i would want them to know as i feel personally i would need their support if it is terminal and you die how will they feel then look at it from that aspect you may need their love and support  

Answer 4

get treatment, then when your still alive your family will be even more happy.

Answer 5

thats a really ignorant question.

first off family wants to help you get better and they stand by you through your treatment no matter what and yeah it hurts sometimes but you go through it its life and if you love them you have to tell them because they would obviously be more hurt if you randomly died they find you dead and they find out that you know.

you so dumb SERIOUSLY!

Answer 6

My families happiness has always come before my own.  However, I think that they would be less happy if I died suddenly from something I had kept from them.  I think that informing them and having them work through the illness with me would leave them more at ease than leaving them in the dark.  But all families are different.  I only know how my family would react and yes, they may be a little sad.  But they will be happier in the end knowing they were there for me.

Answer 7

well my own well being, because if i don;t have that i can't be any use to my family.  

Answer 8

That is a hard question because it is a mixture of both. I would put the Happiness of my family because they are are the most important. The second one get treatment and hurt them. But It would`nt be intentionally but that is the best option.

Answer 9

i guess your family will support u even though they may feel sad or heartbroken or what at the beginning, but the most important thing is u go and get treatment.  What matters more to them than u are alive and happy?

Answer 10

I do not think you understand the true meaning of "family."

Answer 11

Definitely tell your family, they would want to support you, however heartbroken they would feel. I think it would actually be cruel to keep it from them, even if done to protect them. They would have a right to know. If for example i had a husband and kids, I would tell the husband but not necessarily the kids. I couldn't keep anything from my mum either. You can't get better without emotional and physical help.
