I lay by the fire
My hand in yours
Smiling
Watching
Knowing that I
Had finally found
My happily ever after
Your chest rises and falls
Your breathing getting more shallow
And eventually your body stills
No more sound or movement
I sigh in relief
What would you do for a hundred million?
I know my answer.
About “What Would You Do For A Hundred Million?”:
I’ve always found morals and ethics to be a fascinating thing. I took two semesters of Philosophy in university and even before I did that, it’s something I have been interested in. Personally, I feel among humans we can find both extremes. Extremely moral people and extremely immoral people. However, as a collective I believe the majority of us are less moral than we think. There are almost always exceptions to our beliefs. For example, many people will make exceptions for close friends and family members when they do something morally questionable or even just morally wrong. And it’s sometimes hard to criticise them for that, it’s a very human thing to do.
Anyway, my point is (before I continue to ramble on about morals and ethics because I could do that for hours) that we are capable of much more harm than we think. And that begs the question, what would you do for the right amount?
