Friend or Pride? (6)

1 Name: Leo : 2014-06-03 10:03 ID:Xyqd8zPE [Del]

What would you pick if you have to decide between humiliating yourself but saving one friend from certain circumstances OR keeping your pride and watch on?

My answer would be keeping my pride because friends come and go but i view my pride as my self worth. Why let 2 people suffer instead of one?

Kinda curious what views may pop out~X]

Well to me it's the question of how close i am to that particular friend, i have friends who I regard us my honorary brothers and i wouldn't mind taking the fall for them cause i know they would do the same for me, but other than i wouldn't be too sure if i would risk getting myself humiliated but if my humanitarian instincts comes into play i would probably react and help without thinking of the consequences that would befall me, certainly we all have that in us .

Well, my pride is not among the humans who watch me, it's in myself, I would probably lose my pride to see my good friends suffer then I can change that in cost of the way I look. Of course it might change on exact situation, but sometimes actions what reduce your pride may increase it if you change the way you look at it.

What's more humiliating, lame and shaming than letting a friend get hurt ?
Worse ! Considering yourself as responsible of this pain !

For me in that kind of situation pride don't exist anymore. The only thing that exist become law. Can I help without breaking law. If dance the polka wile singing loud "Let it go" can attract attention to let a friend flee from disturbing persons I'll do it.
( I have done much more "humiliating" things to say the truth >///< )

Pride is useless around strangers. A brake in friendship.
It's more for work. What you create.
Abandoning so called friends for pride is dumb. Refusing money when poor for pride is understandable but still dumb.

Anyway, in my opinion, people you like are always more important than principles.

I'm hot-headed and sometimes too righteous for that word to be a compliment. However, if I believe that my friend deserves that "humiliation", and even though I should stand up for them from a friend's perspective, I will not. Because I would hate to spoil my friend. Pride, I can shed if need be; if my friend ends up taking my sacrifice for granted, what's going to happen? I lost my pride for naught, and they get into trouble again.

It's lose-lose.

Friendship is wonderful - I'm not going to let it be my leash and force me to go through unpleasant things just because that "friend" can guilt-trip me later on. If they don't deserve the humiliation, I don't see why I wouldn't risk embarrassing myself to save them out from the situation. I'm selfish, but also a friend. Does that make sense? :\
