you can't hide from what you owe your neighbours

you must value your life and your self! you must live! but you must let yourself be killed for the greater good. but your death is only important if you don't want it. your life is only important if you hate it. you have to stay alive until you want to stay alive and then you have to die. pick a group of people or a person or an idea and idea for it. but don't act like you want to die for it. you have to trick everyone including yourself into thinking you want to live. then get killed. that's the only way to be a good person all other ways of being a good person are in use. you can be a good person by being under the age of 18. or by accumulating trauma on your ancestors. your personal ones don't count. only your ancestors count. no your eventual death in front of the weeping eyes of your children won't count for them either. yeah no sorry it needs to be a bigger scale than that. you do have to die in front of them though. i mean you can also die away from them, that's fine. no your life is an acceptable casualty. i mean you'll make a great figurehead, but you should know that if people are upset by your death i will be punishing them for not being more upset about other more worthy deaths. including your kids, yeah.
