Sometimes all that tension can be broken by looking them in the eye and simply answering a question.
What's worth dying for? Is giving your life to protect your country a worthy cause? What about dying to save a stranger's life? Fighting to protect your own life? Sacrificing yourself to save your family?
What about for someone you love? Is it worth passing from this earth to be with someone you're in love with? I know I'm a sap, but would you want to pass the way Allie and Noah and do at the end of The Notebook movie? At the same time as the person you love?
My great grandfather is done living, and my grandpa is getting there. They're still alive but they're tired, and they wants to go. I know that their bodies starting to trap them because they're so weak. I know that most, if not all, of their friends are gone. I know that the only people they really have left in this world are their children, and their grandchildren, and their great-grandchildren. But I'm convinced that most of the reason they're ready to leave is because their wives are gone. My grandpa was married to my grandma for over 60 years. Hell odds are I'm going to do something crazy like try to sky-dive while playing saxophone and die before I hit 50, I can't even imagine that. That's at least three of my lifetimes that they spent together before she died. They essentially grew up together, raised three children together, traveled the world together, and spent most of their lives together. I guess it's 2:45 in the morning and I've been watching sappy TV shows on the internet and the person I want to talk to is most likely sleeping right now, but I guess this song just got me thinking.
I'm not sure about a lot of things in this life, but one of the few things I'm sure of is that I would follow someone I love into the dark.
'Night, and in the unlikely event that any of the DM candidates read this before try outs, good luck.
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's
On their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
