Would you push the button?

I can guarantee most people would especially if no one is watching

This has the makings of a great cinema masterpiece!

Movie already made and out.

I know that

I forgot to add the "DUH"

Does the button works only once? Will i get money every press of the button or will only another person die without compensation?

Hell Yeal i would press the button..

If you were given a box, that had nothing inside it, but you were told not to open it unless something will appear that should not be there. Would you open it?

True

So I decide to press the button. And the next person who get's to push the button will press it also, killing me in the progress. I would not have much time to enjoy the money now would I?

That was the clue. So each person who decides to press the button, kills the previous person who decided to press the button.

If for instance they would tell me who the button will kill, and what the risk is, I might consider it. Like a childraper who never got could or something. Or a banker, or judge or something.

You might be interested to know this concept was a short story written by Richard Matheson in 1970.

It was made into a Twilight Zone episode entitled 'Button, Button'.

But it actually goes back to 1802. Read the link.

yes

It's difficult to really make a truthful decision without it actually happening.

I might just press it if I were actually given the opportunity.

However, if I did press it... I don't think I could ever truly enjoy the wealth.

I would like to believe that I wouldn't press it, knowing the guilt I would feel...

But, I just couldn't trust my own greed when it came down to it, so I cannot say yes or no without possibly being dishonest... I have too often felt the icy tendrils of poverty, and often lusted for the freedom of wealth to let slip by such a chance.

I feel people are more important than money, but I have also been left in the dirt by people for less than $100.

I try not to have hate, distaste, or disdain toward others...

but it is truly a scenario I would hope to never have to come across.


Just like having to choose between the death of a parent or child if the choice were mine.

Something I would just wish to never have to confront.

I would push it, that's the cash I need to buy land and pre pay taxes for a generation or two, then I could be truly a free man.
It would hurt suck if someone close but the fact is I don't see humans of being truly free, so my view is skewed, as I have zero value in material wealth, just want some land to eek out a living, but where I want land you can't buy it, squat it, camp on it, as it is crown land owned by a fucking queen a half a world away, I say kill the bitch and give my my god given right to exist with out paying for that birthright. I digress to get the existence I want I would have to press it.

Sure a few around here feel similarly,

But then again If I was in a Nuke Silo and got orders to push the button, I would push the button no hesitation.

I think we should have a global lottery one in 10 odds to live....

When will you ever learn that money does not bring luck
