What Is The Scariest Thing That Has Ever Happened To You?
I once saw an entire pirate crew turn into skeletons in front of my eyes. It was frightening, but not nearly as frightening as having to watch Elizabeth walk the plank and not being able to do anything to help her. Barbossa had me bound and gagged, so all I could do was stand there, struggling against my captors, and watch her disappear into the sea. I feared I would never see her again. Knowing that Jack was with her was somewhat of a reassurance, but to be perfectly honest, not much. Sure, he had survived being stranded on that very same island in the past, but I didn't believe his story about tying together sea turtles with a rope made of his back hair, so I was highly doubtful he could repeat the feat. However he'd been rescued that first time... what were the chances of it happening again?
Of course, Barbossa meant to kill me to break the curse, so even if Elizabeth did survive the island, I doubted I would survive to see it.
What is so important to you that without it, life would not be worth living? Why?
I'm starting to feel like my answers to these questions are getting repetitive. But if I'm to answer them honestly, there's not much I can do about it.
So what is so important to me that without it, life wouldn't be worth living? Love. To me, that's Elizabeth. But even in general, what's the point if you don't have love? Money is nice, and power. They bring with them respect and comfort and fancy things. But even if you have all of that, can you really enjoy them without someone in your life to share them with?
Before Elizabeth loved me, all I had was my job. It was something I was good at, something I was proud of. But I wasn't fulfilled by it. I wasn't respected for it, because my boss took all the credit for my work. And when the day was over and Mr. Brown was passed out, I had nothing to fill my nights with but more work. So that's what I did. I perfected my craft and practiced my swordsmanship, but I wasn't living. Not until I had Elizabeth to live for.
So now we're together and planning to share the rest of our lives with one another. And that, to me, is the only thing worth living for.
