[MLUG - DISCUSSION] Torture (was: The Passion)

If the fate of all your loved ones relied on you finishing the process? 
Your parents, siblings, friends, wife, children, etc.. let alone the 
fate of everyone who ever lived? No. I think most of us can more easily 
endure physical torment than emotional. Could you hedge out of the 
process knowing the resulting fate of everyone you loved? I couldn't. 
I'd be forced to suffer the torture process to the end rather than 
endure the short but agonizing torment of what'd happen to those I 
loved. In an odd way you'd be protecting yourself by accepting the 
destruction. Physical pain or fear of death just cannot exist on the 
same level as the mental pain you can submit yourself to. I can't 
imagine the level that pain would be if you felt responsibility for the 
whole of humanity. You'd endure anything to stop that.
