Heck no. I'm 16, and I have a (hopefully) long life ahead of me. Plus I'm a selfish bastard. And I don't believe in the afterlife. So yeah, that's three strikes and out, I'm afraid.

Because many of us are greedy and don't find this whole thing called living to be all that bad! ^_^Akai Shizuku said:
OT - No, I wouldn't leave my kids fatherless for a situation I know nothing about. Now, if it were for my wife or my kids, then yes.
Probabally not. If it was more than one, (and a significant amount) I'd consider it, but really, in the sort of situation where some people could be about to die, and you're in the proximity, I doubt there would be much time to consider anything but getting the hell out of there.
Erhm yes it is? Statisticly it is VERY rare, especialy sentient life. Besides, it's the most important thing you have basicly, what is more important than life? Unles you meant YOUR life is not so fantastic. In which case I'd advise you to seek counseling ..Akai Shizuku said:
Anyway, the day I die for someone else it would be someone important to me. Even entire truckloads of strangers can go fuck themselves really. I'll feel sorry for you but sure as hell not dieing for you, people die all the time, tough luck.
A stranger might as well not exist. People you have never met may just be a hoax created by the people I do know. Every human being besides me may just be an illusion for I cannot know for sure they can think. I think so I am.
Is the stranger an important person who will make a difference? Will that person do something important? You do know that you are able to do something important.
And the most important justification of keeping myself alive: The most important person in the entire universe is myself. If I die, the world is no more to me.
If you die the world is no more to you but that doesn't matter because I can still live without second or third persons. (read "I" as yourself if you don't want to get the impression that I, Monocle Man, am self-centred. Though that may be the wrong impression.)

Statistically it is VERY rare to get hit by a bolt of lightning, too.Sebass said:
What is it that makes life so wonderful, for you?
No. Taking your own life is a bigger sin than taking someone else's and why should I care more about that person than myself? If I kill myself, I know that my friends and family will be sad, I will let myself lose many, many happy years of my life. Why am I less deserving of life than that person? In fact, when I start sacrificing myself, why don't they then also try to save ME?
It sound cruel, but why should I care about that other person/stranger?

You didn't answer his question, so why should he answer yours? Also, you can't put what is wonderful about life into words, into an internet post. It just is. All the good times, all the people you meet, all enjoyable things in life, everything. You sound a bit bitter.Akai Shizuku said:
Yes. I don't care about myself, but I feel horrible when other people are dying. And all my childhood heroes would be very dissappointed in me otherwise.
