The only thing I would be willing to die for is my kids and my grand daughter!!!
My son and wife, they will always come before me and I would lay my life down for them. My wife is absolutely amazing with our son and my instinct is to fiercely protect both of them.
To answer my own question no I cannot think of any thing or conviction I would be willing to die for. I have strong beliefs and passions and will do what I can for causes I believe in short of giving up my life. So many worthy causes but to give my life for any of them I am not willing to do.
The question then becomes (for me) who would I die for?
For my loved ones. They make life worth living for me. Especially my dh.
So for me, the answer is my dh. I would give my life up to save him.
If my death would solve some of those major issues, like global warming, world peace, world hunger, cancer, whatever. Then yes, it would be worth the cost to help countless others on this planet.
I love my family but to help humanity as a whole or our give our planet another chance, its bigger than just oneself.
Since you mentioned convictions, if I were ever forced to renounce my faith, I hope I'd be willing to stand my ground even if it meant death. There have been many in history, and even today, that are forced to make that decision. However, if it meant death or suffering for my loved ones, I can't honestly say I'd be able to do it. I hope I never have to face such a horrific situation.
Nope.
As a living being I can't imagine anything more important than life itself.
um yes
freedom and democracy
don't any body ever try to take away my right to vote
past generations fought and died so i would have the right to vote and so i couldn't live in a free world
