KamikazeSkies DISCLAIMER: This involves some violence, but only what's necessary to get the question across clearly. There's a man, mid-30s. A very successful man, he is. Beautiful wife, three model kids, and a job raking in $125,000 a year. Anything and everything he wants, he has. Not to mention a heart of gold, where he would put anyone's well-being in front of his own. One day, his world crashes. His wife and three children get killed in a car accident on the way home from school. The man loses sight of who he is, and also his mind, soon resulting in the loss of his job. Living a life way below the American average, the man contemplates suicide. He tries, but never can get the courage to finish himself. He instead grows weaker and weaker while the thoughts get stronger. While walking through the city, he hears a scream from a nearby alley. A woman is being robbed by a crook at gunpoint. Now the man thinks to himself for a split second. What he thinks, that part is unknown. But as a result of that thought, he runs and confronts the crook. This gives the woman a chance to escape, but at the cost of his own life. The man is shot within seconds. ...But don't forget, this man had constant thoughts of suicide, but couldn't bring himself to do it. So now the man is dead. But what were his reasons for confronting the gunman? - Did he see an opportunity to save someone else's life from being shattered like his own? OR - Did he simply see it as a way to die without having to do it himself? This has no definate answer, it's all in the way you view things. Take a second to think about it fully. Remember: - The man lost everything he had. - The thoughts kept getting stronger. - He put anyone before him. - All of his thoughts, except the ones of suicide, are unknown. This is a question that I personally thought of, be courteous and don't post it for yourself without giving me credit of some sort, or at least asking. Please, only intelligent answers.
i think that the man was both because even though he didnt want someone else's life to be shattered like his was he wasnt strong enough to commit sucide himself even though his thoughts on the subject were probably very strong his body mightve been weak so he couldntve did it himself but with the saving someone else's life that part of him mightve still been in contact with his mind so it couldve been a reflex cause he probably knew he didnt want it to happen to anyone else..thats just what i think but for coming up with the question it was a good question made me think good job biggrin

Calypsophia perhaps it would be both. perhaps on one hand he's thinking... 'there's someone in trouble.. it's someone elses wife or daughter... maybe there's a reason for me to be here after all.. to help them... but I could die... and if I die at least it will be in an honorable way and my suffering will be over.' he had nothing to lose and some little bit of dignity to gain.
agreed.
