Search Results: let my people go

The last of us an incredible gaming experience always makes me question what would people choose. In this game you play a man who lost his daughter at the beginning of the apocalypse zombie like creatures are running around humanity is on its last leg. After your daughter dies 20 years go by your tasked with escorting this young girl across country she about the age of your daughter when she died apparently this girl is immune to the virus turning people into zombies and the people your escorting her too can use her to make a cure for humanity only thing is making this cure will kill the girl but you don’t find this out till you’ve already got her there. At this point you’ve doesn’t months together trying to get her to these guys and in the end this what the girl feels she’s needs to do and given the options she’d most likely give her life to make the cure.
In the game the guy you play as despite knowing this chooses to save this girls life and doesn’t end up telling her what really happens since she was on anesthesia being prepped for surgery to see if they could make a cure.

What would you have done save her life even though your fucking over humanity and most likely going against what the girl would want if given the choice. And do you tell her the truth about what happened?

Or don’t save her and let her die to save humanity? And in both these situation the girl doesn’t know she’s dying to make the cure but if you choose to save her you do have the option to let her choose and ultimately let her die.

Me personally I’d save her it may be a selfish choice but wtf has humanity ever done for me that I should Scarface my happiness to save them. Most of my pains in life have been caused by other humans selfishness and shitty behavior.

What's your experiences with therapists? I was considering going into social work or counseling.

"Dr. Feeline, I just feel like I'm in a cat-atonic state". Interesting, lets talk next week about this... that will be 10 more cans of tuna. See you Tuesday

ugh... I hate the GAG editor, had to type this 3 times. no wonder people give up and go elsewhere. Jesus h... fix your stupid editor...

I know this age identification thing is getting out of hand lol, but let me add context to my question:

When they asked Borges in an interview if he considered himself a man of the 19th century, he unquestionably answered, “Yes.” Borges was born in 1899.

I think it goes beyond having literally been born in that century. He despised his era; he despised what the 20th century brought to the world, so I see it more as a very conservative posture and identification rather than really meaning that he is someone from the 19th century, since he has no recollections from that century, and when we think about 20th-century figures, many of them were born in the 19th century (Hitler, Einstein, Churchill, Sartre, Kafka, Bertrand Russell, etc.). Borges did have a love for authors and philosophers of that century, and many of the anecdotes that he tells about his ancestors happened in the 19th century, so it is more of a longing than a literal identification.

So my question goes in a similar way: in what meaningful ways would you consider yourself to be a 20th-century person despite being mostly a 21st-century one? Or the world evolves so fast that it makes this impossible to answer as Borges did?
