RE: Description on the spot: One Last Step
I can understand some scandinavic religions conserned death in a battle the happiest ending possible, but nowadays this ideology is mostly used to convince people to die for some abstract purpose, which is not so honest - because it's not their idea.
To die or fight with a illness is a personal choice - and I think people should have a right for euthanasia as well.
It is really hard watching people die from cancer and the like. I get why people support euthanasia....
I think dying for your beliefs is not crazy but dying in the manner described in my story is obviously crazy.
Western culture has lost the fact that there are good deaths. We value life over beliefs and I don't think that should be the case when you are talking about your own life.
For instance and i think most agree, People should always be willing to sacrifice their own life to save another persons but what about to save the freedom, rights, virtue or even property of another person.
People are being martyred for their faith around the world. We should stop it and risk our lives to protect them. I believe both types of deaths, standing up for beliefs and standing up for other have value.
