Let's play a little game. I hope you don't find me irritating for I will be giving my own comments throughout this and, if at any time you find it annoying and truly infuriating, you are free to leave. The rules are simple - give your honest answer to the two questions presented in this little 'quiz' and at the end of it, you shall find out how much of a human you truly are.
Now then, have you gotten everything down? If you do, GOOD! Let us begin. Don't worry, all you have to answer are either A or B.
1. If you were in a sinking ship which contains 399 live jackets and 401 people on board, would you - A) be a part of the 399 people with some hope of survival; or B) be one of the other 2 that goes down with the ship?
Go ahead, I know you want to answer B and paint a better picture for yourself, but when the time actually comes, you'll be shoving your way through the throngs of people just to get your hands on one of those jackets...which was what you were probably thinking when you saw the choices presented in this question. Well, bad news - you probably didn't notice the spelling error in "live jackets"; please note that they are not the same as life jackets and the 398 other people would most likely drown along with you because they were just as selfish.
Now we move on to question 2
2. If you were held at gun point and presented with two choices of - A) A remote is handed to you and you are asked to detonate a bomb that is planted in one of the busiest streets in New York; or B) You get shot and possibly die of said gun shot, but on the other hand, no bomb blows up and nobody else dies. Which will you choose?
Interesting isn't it? On one part of the equation you live while hundreds and maybe thousands lose their lives and loved ones; on the other part, you die and will never get to say how much you love your parents, siblings, et cetera. This time there are no spelling errors, no ships and no cool jackets that rockers wear during their live performances; just you, a remote to some deadly bomb and a chance to pay a visit to Lucifer.
Of course, I know you'd pick B...seeing how noble you must be, but will you still have the guts to pick the same choice when you're really staring down the barrel of a loaded Benelli Legacy?
Now, with all that's said and done, do you still want to continue?
If you want to know how much of a human you truly are I suggest you look at your friends and ask yourself - will you have the courage to die for them...for any one of them - like Jesus did for those he knew and all others whom he didn't, but loved anyway. Or will you hurl snide remarks about others behind their backs, insult them in their face, kick them when they're down, ostracise and humiliate them publicly and, the best of all, betray everyone you know just to get some worthless reward just like what Judas did unto Jesus?
