"When you've been through it all, you know exactly how you're going to emotionally react to a situation, and you can choose how to react. This makes you a very dangerous person." A person who's willingly lost it all for what they believe.

What do you think about martyrs?

It depends on what we mean by the term "martyr". What is both the intention and the impact? Standing for truth is different from being stubborn, and aggression is different from protection.

For example, someone might commit a murder-suicide and think themselves a "martyr", whereas another would choose to put themselves between danger and the innocent to the point of death, and thus be considered a "martyr" by others for doing so.

Further, neither action might mean much of anything to someone who does not identify with either of their causes. We need both a constructive intention and a constructive means of carrying it out. Otherwise, one simply throws their own life away and harms other lives.

I cherish life, including my own, so I will direct all of it towards trying to increase life for as many as I possibly can. This often runs counter to what is "popular" and I have sacrificed much personal comfort in the process. Is this martyrdom?

Martyrdom could also be a status or title that is given, but it was used in the sense of someone who sacrifices their own life or everything dear to them for what they believe. The ideas are also not necessarily linked, a person who sacrifices everything is not always a martyr.

I think martyrdom is proven by death or near death, so great suffering does not qualify.

It makes me very nervous to speak my mind, I hate it when people hate me but... some things should be said.

Martin Luther King said we die when we stop talking about the things that are important to us, well I don't believe in God but I'm afraid of him and I take right turns at a conversation to keep it new.

While I understand the hesitation, I hope "war is always a bad idea for everyone" never becomes a "hot take".
