It takes a mere second for treasure to turn to trash.

Mozilla Firefox Favourite Manga Dragonball/Z/Super, Naruto/Shippuden, One Piece, Hellsing, Death Note	I remember as a child asking my mom whether or not people who were in the army and killed other people went to Heaven or not. She couldn't really answer. I'm not the type of person to get grossed out easily, and to be honest, I'd gladly kill somebody if they were evil, I wouldn't hesitate at all. That might sound psychotic but I'd be very joyous to know I killed somebody threatening, as long as it was for the right reasons/somebodies life was in danger, but, I wouldn't join the army. I'm indebted to my country, true, but, I don't have to get shot/shoot someone to pay it back.

They may feel that you're arrogant and pretentious for giving your life to save theirs (I'm not by any means saying that I think that, but it is most likely that somebody feels that way). Arrogant? Wait, ... Arrogant? You're saying, that if somebody gives their life for another, somebody may find that as ARROGANT? What the... I figured it would be the exact opposite. Arrogant people are selfish, to a degree I would say, and that is easily the most selfless sacrifice one could make. I'm not sure if that's what you meant. It just sounded like it. Like I said, I do not feel this way, just you to know that. But what I mean is that if you do indeed sacrifice your life to save another, some people could see that as arrogant in that you are the person putting yourself forward to sacrifice your life. It could possibly come across as you seeing yourself as better, a person with bigger morals than some people. As in "look at that guy thinking he's all that". Again I can't stress enough that I do not feel this way, and the majority of people won't, but there are some people that think like that. Also, sacrificing your life to save someone else is not always totally selfless. Again I'm not saying you feel this way, but some people may sacrifice their life thinking "hey I could be a hero if I save this guys life" and they'll feel good about themselves, even if they do die.

Or something along those lines anyway. I'll drop this point because I'm obviously not getting it across the way I intended and am not explaining it well enough.
