Since there doesn't seem to be any imminent threat--though I suppose I might've just jinxed us with that--I have a question for everyone. Food for thought, if you will.

What do you fight for? I realize this is vaguely worded, but I'm not looking for a particular answer.

Hm... To protect others and keep the peace would have to be my answer.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

I imagine that many, including myself, feel that way.

[resonancy.livejournal.com]

Right. I think everyone has something they want to keep safe.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

Yes... [Thinking of a certain pink-haired girl now.]

I'd hope so, at least.

[resonancy.livejournal.com]

Mm... Of course, there's always someone out there who only wants to cause trouble for everyone, but thankfully there's usually a lot of others out there who would try to stop them.

[Is very aware of what the kid is asking, but is going with this answer since he's a jerk]

To win.

[scoreatouchdown.livejournal.com]

To see if I can fight someone stronger than me.

[caprice-of-song.livejournal.com]

Be it that I might have to fight in my own way, I would gladly do it to protect the world I love.

[honor-tactics.livejournal.com]

I fight for my comrades. For a better future for them and those they care about.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

... To each their own.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

So ultimately, what matters to you is the challenge?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

In your own way?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

Peace does seem to be difficult to hold onto, yes. It seems that's the unfortunate reality of most worlds.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

It's... a good thing to fight for.

[scoreatouchdown.livejournal.com]

Sure does. Don't see the point in fighting some loser I can take down easily.

[boat-lights.livejournal.com]

Quite the thought-provoking question.

[caprice-of-song.livejournal.com]

I've never been any good at fighting the standard way. Sometimes in order to defend something, you have to find some other way to protect it.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

Have you considered that some don't fight purely for the sake of fighting?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

That's true. Violence is hardly the only answer.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

[Ugh, you.]

... Is that all you have to say?

[stoicism.livejournal.com]

I fight for my country.

[caesar]

Why do I fight? Easy. How else am I going to protect the people I care about?

[glasscaseflower.livejournal.com]

So others would have a better life.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

Are you a soldier, then?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

That seems to be a common answer among people here.
