I think more people would flip the kill switch than you think. We all have the instinct to survive and to protect and covet what little we have. There's few that wouldn't pay the ultimate price to defend one's own existence. And you have to fight all your instincts to just lay down and die...
I've been on both sides so I do understand... I've ruined no few number of lives for my own agenda. But I've also put my throat down on the tracks and gave up so I could live a life to my standards.
I won't pretend I wouldn't do the same thing in your shoes. The instinct to live is rooted so deep and if given the chance to do so... people would take it. How many lives are worth your own? Worth your friends and family? The number should be one to one but cards on the table... it's infinite. Your life is yours and whatever you have to burn and destroy to keep that flame alive is that exact cost.
[He takes a sip of his drink before he continues.]
But those that will never find themselves in that situation or anything close to it... They'll condemn. They'll always condemn and never understand.
