Words=death? is it worth it?

Question

I sometimes fear the things i think of because they do not follow the concepts that the mainstream follow. i'm a bit of a phillosopher and i think if i speak out for what i believe in i might end up as Socrates or even Kennedy who tried to change the world. i want change to come and i'm not comparing myself to kennedy who was a great man, i am not of that status...yet (im only 15). but i feel when i get older and i get people to see my way and see the wrongs of the world that i may be eventually assasinated like the many who were so close to bringing positive change. even if i dont come close at all. i was just wondering if bringing change is worth dieing

(by the way i'm not depressed or psycho or anything....i was just wondering. i want to know from others what they think about the situation. i dont want to die especially not anytime soon. i want to have a full life that i already love and will always love) if i am faced with death for peace...should i take it?

Answer 1

Life without living is not life at all.

If I was to know that I will be bound to a life of unhappiness and discontent with my being, I might as well die now.

In the end, we will all eventually cease to exist.

Answer 2

The ultimate leader is one who is willing to develop people to the point that they eventually surpass him or her in knowledge and ability.

Hello fellow patron of peace.

First, you're not alone in your thoughts. I've had those thoughts myself. And why? Because it happened...To Kennedy, Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy, hundreds of thousnads of people fighting Hitler in WW II...

Your one of the chosen people to live a life of service to others to help man/womankind find happiness and peace.

"Yeah right!" you might say. But think about it for a moment. Are your friends thinking like you? I was alone in my quest to provide peace to others and have been happy whenever I did so. It's always worth it and no it doesn't necessarily lead to "death".

But you will be fought. Everyday. There will be many who will disagree that a peaceful existence is a proper existence. So many people are filled with fear and rage. Start with your company...try it at a small scale...see what happens...you'll know then that you're meant to be a peace giver. And it can be h**l!!! Peace is defined as nonconflict. THAT'S IT. It's that simple. But not really...only the chosen know this. That's why you are one of us. But how great it is to see you begin to bloom into the gift the world needs so desperately.

EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO BE HERE...meditate on that and start from there...seriously meditate on it. Don't just think about it lightly...think long and deep into your soul about it. Let your heart wrap around these words...then it's off to teach this idea.

Your admirer and fellow peace seeker,

ya, unless you got something better to live for

Answer 5

thre's only 2 ways to die... either you die in the Lord Jesus or out of Lord Jesus... If you're going to pick a battle, choose the one that you know you'll gonna win. The wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight... Can a creation become more greater than his Creator?

Answer 6

Look at your priorities, if change is something you see as absolutely necessary, and you feel that if not you then no one, then yes.  Anything you believe can be worth dying for.  If what you believe is important to you, and you feel that the world would truly benefit from the change then offer all that you have even if it means you must become a martyr.

Answer 7

Only you can decide that for yourself, but the world looks up to people who are willing to speak for what is right, despite knowing the dangers involved.  I think it's noble.
