How much do you value your life?

Question

OneViewpoint · Accepted Answer

Well, I've done some things. Put myself in harms way. For duty (US Army Officer). For fun (extreme skiing). I probably should have died a hundred times by now. A lot of people around me certainly did. So you could argue I don't value my own life all that much. On the other hand, I didn't die (yet). So, maybe I'm just better at navigating risk and surviving than others. Or maybe I've just been lucky.

One thing I think is true, I haven't held back from taking risks and experiencing all that life has to offer. I won't be 90 years old and looking back with regrets about all the things in life I never had the courage to experience. That's just another way of not valuing the life we've been given.

$365.00 several trees, several sea turtles and a couple kilometers of conserved land and sea habitat protection. This is based on my efforts in charity which is pretty much how I assign value to myself.

I don't know how to answer this. What's your answer? Sometimes little. Sometimes much. But it's this dance, this ephemeral and fleeting nature that gives it value. Maybe.

If you ask me "would you allow an alien species to kill every other human being on earth if I will survive" the anwer is yes.
If god ask me if "your life or extermination of life in entire universe" I will answer my life.
The calculation is always 1 bigger than 0

A huge amount. I have been blessed with the opportunity to live a fantastic life (and made many very intentional decisions to have the ability to pursue it). I've wanted to make a point of living an incredible adventure, and I think I've done that quite well.

Hopefully many more adventures await.

ABC1x1x · Answer

My life is valued at 950k.. i don't value it at all. I have a 950k bet that I pay 45 a month with an insurance company that I don't live past 72 and I am completely in the drivers seat. I drink too much, drug too much, indulge too much. I havet looked both ways when I crossed the street or worn my seat belt in 6 years. My 3 daughters and tortured wife are going to be RICH soon enough.

allan997 · Answer

I don’t have an aswer for that I mean as living beings we are predetermined to be scare of death and to survive, but now I’m in a state of mind where I’m not afraid to die and there are worse things in life than death, death is part of life and you have to accept that and be in peace with that, also I don’t have kids so that’s a good reason I’m not afraid of death if I would have them then I would be scare of death for sure.

ChiTown33 · Answer

I don't value my life so much as I value my potential and the difference I can make while I'm here. We're only here for a short time. But the love we can impart while we're here can ripple for generations.
