"only 90s kids remember-" wrong, if you're poor and/or rural enough, old tech and fashion doesn't just disappear when it stops being trendy. We had dial-up until 2012

getting kicked off love island for just swimming in the pool and not talking to anyone

[kropotkindersurprise]

my friend competed in a Survivor knock-off reality tv contest on a tropical island, and he did exactly this. While everyone was scheming and forming cliques and voting strategically to get rid of the others, he just floated in the sea for weeks.

Weeks into the show they had to like, reintroduce him in the editing because he had just been absent from the show till then; "remember this guy? he's also still here". They started with 60 people or something, and he made it to the final 6, where he lost a balancing game.

It was very funny to watch the crappy show just to see my friend, because most episodes he just didnt feature at all. He didn't stress about winning the big prize or anything, he just treated it as a vacation where he got to chill out for two months and get paid for it. A real icon.

"I would never-"

You would if you were tired enough. You would if you were hungry enough. You would if your mind and body had been worn down enough, through pain or disease or toil or violent struggle. You might if you were put on the wrong medicine, or you got the wrong kind of head injury, or you were forced to choose between someone else and yourself. You might if your livelihood was staked on it, or all your hopes and dreams. You might if you didn't know what else to do, if it's what you were taught or if nobody taught you anything else.

I have not been worn down in most of these ways. I have lived a remarkably privileged life. But I have been worn down in some ways. And they were enough to teach me that in the wrong circumstances, any of us can become someone we don't want to be. It's worth keeping that in mind.

[greenleavesandwarmbreezes]

No actually. Some of us would never.

History is full of people who would never. They usually died for it. But we remember them and honor them as heroes.

Some people do have those breaking points. Not everyone.

[queer-as-used-by-tolkien]

☝️usually it is God giving us strength to bear past our natural breaking point

[greater-than-the-sword]

It's not that everyone would, but that you don't know whether you would until it happens. You can't just proudly proclaim that you would never, and overconfidence is a pretty reliable indicator of failure.

1 Corinthians 10:12

[12] Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.

this verse was specifically written to people who thought they would never do as their ancestors did.

Luckily followed with:

1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV

[13] No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Also:

Proverbs 16:18

[18] Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
