To save 1 person you love or 1,000 strangers?

I think about that more often than I care to admit. Perhaps the choice is made by buying my child designer clothes instead of sending the money to a charity that would feed the thousands of not millions of children that are shown in the news or on those TV charity programs. Now that is something to think about.  So I would have to say, for now my loved one. But tomorrow, perhaps the 1,000.

I would save my wife first  (probably over her objections to save the child first).  Then I would sacrifice myself to save the child.\n\nI do not currently have a child and may feel differently if I ever do.\n\nI would choose my wife first because we are supposed to be one and what can one do living as half a person.

No, you cannot love someone too much.  But you can suffocate someone with love.  Part of love of recognizing when the other person needs space, when the other person needs a shoulder to cry on, when the other person is ready to talk or ready to be with you.  Sure there's all the comfort, inspiration and words of wisdom - but too much of that everyday will wear anyone out.  Love someone enough to know when enough is enough.

Which one would I save? I would save the one that was the closest to me IN THE WATER. Why? Well while you are going after the one that is the furtherest one way, they may drown before you can get to them, and then when you go and try to get the other one, they have drowned to as you didn't get to them fast enough. So by doing it this way you have lost both. When you could have saved at least the one closest to you in the water.

Hmm...well, I don't think I would tell my loved ones right away. I'd wait until sometime during my last month. I would not want them to pity me, or to constantly think about my pending death. I would also get everything in order...start giving away my possession to the people I want to have them. Donate everything else to Goodwill. I'd also start making plans for my funeral. For the first week, I'd probably be in pity, but after that, I'd realize (or at least I hope I would), that it was a gift...that I am now able to see to it that my hubby and family are not placed with unnecessary burdens, as the families of people who go suddenly often are. \nI would write letters to my loved loves, telling them everything I never could in person, because I find it hard to express my feelings. I'd appologize to everyone I have ever wronged in life...(I should probably still do this anyways). I'd also talk to my father, and tell him I forgive him for all that he has done, although he has never asked for it. For my nephew, I would make a tape of myself, telling him all of the lessons I have learned in life, and remind him how much of joy it had been to have him in my life...even if he was a little baby. \nThen, I'd spend as much time as I could with my hubby...learning and discovering more about him, holding and watching him every night while he slept, and tell him everyday how much I love and appreciate him. \nNow, assuming I ever win the lottery or come across a whole lot money, these are some more things I would do:\n1. Go skydiving\n2. Go Bungee Jumping\n(I've always been too scared of doing these, but since I'm going to die anyways...might as well).\n3. Be in a shark cage with a Great White swimming around. \n4. Go to Rome, London, Paris, and New Zealand (with my hubby, spending five days in each place.)\n5. Take an African Safari (again with my hubby).\n6. Go white water rafting. \n7. DIE HAPPY AND CONTENT...

It depends on selfishness or the love for your loved one. Personally, i would do anything for my significant other.\n\n<3

It would be EXTREMELY selfish to not sacrifice one life to save millions, but I would relinquish that choice to fall on that significant other. I could never make that choice for them.

Nope. Get it when you can, where you can. Get it from whom you can and the easy ones twice. LOL. Keep it with one person.

Well,  I  am not sure if that is even a very sensible  question, because it sure doesn't seem to take any consideration of who that person is and what HE might  prefer.     Human beings  aren't just one big Ant Colony, but comprised of individuals  with  very different personalities, hopes, dreams and wishes.      I  don't even think that a thousand bucks would go too far in changing somebody's LIFE.    These  days (as I know  from  experience)   ya can hardly get a dental fix-up on one tooth for that!!\n                     But if I had a thousand  dollars to spare with that  purpose in mind, I would ask that person how he or she feels  that money could be applied  to help their present situation, or  resolve a current difficulty.        I suspect a  great many of them would either  say "to pay off some of my bills"   or  "to give to...." and then they would mention the name of somebody else they felt  was in a worse shape  than  they  are.    I know  the world  is full of real "pieces of work" -  but  I  always  get the impression that there's a lot of generosity of heart out there, with needy people thinking of  others  even needier.

I'd totally join you in hug a randomer day. But some people might freak when someone hugs them....that could be a bad thing. People should show a little love, even to some complete stranger. GOOD IDEA! : )

You are telling the other person that you do not wish any bad events to occur in their life during the immediate time. We know we cannot stall such events forever, but another few hours of peace is a comforting thought.

If you have to chose one,be with someone who loves YOU more...you chances of being hurt are less and you will be taken care of much better then by someone who does not love you as much...

Nope.  I would sacrifice a limb for someone I truly loved, but not for 1000 strangers.

the person is striken with love for the first person he/she sees

I know most people will tell you no, but I think it is possible to care deeply for more than one person, and isn't caring deeply about someone what love is about? However, the problem here is that if you truly love both people, you will have to come to accept the cold truth: you will have to hurt one or both. If you love them both, then this will be a difficult decision. If you don't choose, though, you will hurt both people by default. I would think that you would want to save the love of one person, instead of losing both, so you had better come to a decision before it's too late. My recommendation would be to save the 11 year relationship. At least you know that love has staying power, but what about this new one - will it only be thrilling when it's new?
