Would you rather die for something or live for it?
The death would be glorious. You become a hero.

The life would be hard. You'd have have your principles, but little else.

1. If you live for something
You would eventually die for it. Unless, of course, you're immortal.

3. True. Different length of life
Die at 30 or 80?

4. I'll choose dying at 80
Because let's face it, after your funeral, the only ones who are really going to care are your close friends and family.

2. I prefer the positive - live for something!
I'd rather not be a martyr. I like being alive, actually.

5. Live for something. If you're doing the right thing, a hard life is a
small price to pay; dying for the right thing, while honorable, leaves others without someone to to champion the cause you would otherwise.

So, live for it.
