Would you sacrifice yourself for your parents' lives ?

[Madarauchiwa]

depends on the situation but most likely not because it wouldn't be fair to them. your parents don't want you to die for them in any situation and if they do they don't love you. your mother risked her life to bring you into the world and i can guarantee you that she doesn't want you leaving this world before her.

anyone who says yes would just end up hurting their parents beyond words. I've seen parents who've lost their children and they have flat out told me they wish they were dead everyday because their child died of cancer now imagine if they had to live knowing their child died for them

 

[GhostProject]

Yes. It's a noble excuse to die.

 

[Kogar]

Yes I would, they're the ones who brought you life so it would be rightful to give up your life for theirs.

 

[-Punk-]

No, I wouldn't.

 

[BlacLord™]

Yes I would, they're the ones who brought you life so it would be rightful to give up your life for theirs.

You are their legacy.

By throwing yourself into the hands of death you simultaneously manage to:

a) Open their future to a life of pain and suffering.
b) Throw away all the effort they gave into nurturing and protecting you
c) Make them feel like failures for not being able to protect you
d) Go against their will.

Besides, they've had much more of a life than you.

 

[Decimo Blaze]

yes i would its like someone above said its our natural instinct people say no because there thinking about it but if they were in that situation they would probably save them, since no time to think

 

[ObitoGokuKakashi]

No.

No good parent would value their own lives above their children; said parent would protect their child over themselves because a) it's their child and b) They've already lived more.

Of course they would not but think of it that way, there comes a situation where you have the opportunity & the possibility to save your Mothers life or your Fathers, it's a moment of 'reflex' not a moment where you have all the time of the world to think about the consequences of, 'what happens with my Mother when I die'. Of course good parents would try to save their child but would the child allow her? That wouldn't make her a bad Mother. I think you get what I mean.

 

[Disquiet]

My father is already dead. As for my mother, the more time I have to think about it, the more likely it is that I wouldn't (i.e. my journey to find any kind of spiritual truth or make sense of the events that happened to me recently would end right there). However, if I only have a split second to decide, relfex and instinct would be the driving factors. So I believe it's more likely if the window of opportunity isn't open for very long.

 

[YellowFang]

None of us would like other to sacrifice for themselves, all goes down to the initiative... In my case, I'd probably be the one taking initiative. But then, there's this thing that I'd want to live to achieve all that that our parents couldn't but always wanted to...Man, it's just the depth of this beautiful relationship...

 

[UltimateHawk]

Well yeah especially for my mother.Though they would never be happy in life if that would've happend.My pain would be over in instant unlike theirs....


I would also gladly die for my brother(Itachi fan confirmed )

 

[Desiigner]

I would do it if she allowed me lol

You don't need to think about it, it's obvious. A situation like that would call upon the parental instinct anyway... saving you whether you like it or not. Parents can call upon a great strength in times of crisis, strength greater than you can imagine or contest.

Anyway, you are their legacy.

By throwing yourself into the hands of death you simultaneously manage to:

a) Open their future to a life of pain and suffering.

[Jɑégar]

The question should be "Would you not sacrifice yourself for your parents' lives ?"

Lel, hell yeah I would sacrifice myself.

 

[Transcendence]

I would most definitely do so. But my parents would be so against it, it's not even funny.

Well I look at it a way in my perspective, if I let my parents die (2 people in the cost of 1) I would never be able to live with myself knowing that I could've been there to sacrifice myself. I'm a type of a person who always has regrets and thats something I don't ever want to regret. Besides I got siblings and their bills and education are supported by my parents so me dying would still leave 1 child.

Your parents wouldn't let you sacrifice yourself anyway, no parents would. And if that maternal/paternal instinct kicks in, you will be saved by them anyway no matter the amount of force involved.

It's important to remember that there is nothing to regret; your parents would thank you for not sacrificing their most precious legacy.

Of course parental instinct will kick in but, so will the instinct of their child. The instinct of 'rescue the loved one'. Whether the person who is going to be saved likes it or not, as you said.

Not throwing yourself, as being said before, it is the 'reflex' that kicks in. You cannot think properly about the consequences when you are dealing with that kind of situation. It is completely different.

Yes they have but still, I don't value my Life over others, especially, in this case, my Parents.

I know and I understand that but if I really do make a choice where I let my parents die then it would not only affect me but my siblings future and I don't want that to happen, me dying wouldn't be what my parents wanted but for my sibling I would as I don't want their future to be ruined.

The instinct of a parent is much stronger than anything else; they will overwhelm you with strength and force your life to continue if necessary. A child's instinct is much weaker and can't hold a candle to that of a nurturer.

Part of any instinct is to put best foot forward... the whole child protecting parent is puerile and something that a child will grow out of when they have reached a certain degree of maturity and wisdom in adulthood.

Lel, hell yeah I would sacrifice myself.

Although it's not quite the same, would you bring your parents back from the dead if it meant sacrificing your own life to do so?
