It depends on how sus the people telling me that seemed. I would definitely question, but the desire to see what is on the outside would probably be inversely proportional to how content I was with life on the inside.
If I was like, "This place fucking sucks," and they said, "TS, there's nowhere else to go," I might take my chances.
That you, Morgoth? Stop trying to trick me into revealing the location of Gondolin.
City? Probably yes. Country? Probably no.
It really depends on the Size of the "cage" and what it has to "offer" to me. (how entertained I am, how well-off I am)
Absolutely. I was teaching English with Mormons in Kiev, UA in 2014 (as a volunteer, I am not Mormon). The nonprofit we were with stressed to us that we should absolutely, under no circumstance, go to Maidan (city center). This was when the revolution was just starting. Of course I went anyway.
At least when I was in Ukraine at that time, all the discord was contained within Maidan and the eastern regions. Life elsewhere went on as usual. I'm not sure if it is the same now. But it felt like going between two worlds.
Like they're gonna let me stay in the city.
I would probably go to test it if at all possible, especially if there is a way to come back.
In real live I already immigrated 3 times to a different country and before I had kids I was even dreaming about going to Mars even if it would have been om a one way ticket.
No.
Are the people saying it is dangerous saying why it is dangerous or being vague about it? Are they honest and trustworthy about the things inside the city or are they unreliable liars?
If it is a vague, unspecified threat from unreliable people then I'm certainly going out. If there are details and the people are otherwise trustworthy I'm staying in.
If they are untrustworthy or trustworthy but vague, it would come down to whether there is a reason to go outside other than finding out if they are lying.
I'm too american to listen to what I'm told. I'm gonna get eaten by the titans, sorry everyone
No
Likely not, especially if it’s the same regular life where I have lots of responsibilities and have to work to live.
No. I like to avoid risk.
Considering that I ended up getting banished from my personal bubble, I'm betying that I would have ended up on the outside of that wall anyway, so yeah!
The person that you are now is not the person that you would be if you grew up in that situation.
That me is a stranger to this me I have no basis to guess what that stranger might do.
We talking about Gaza or Pyongyang?
