If you were enslaved, would you take your own life or just keep being a slave?

I would keep being a slave.. where there is life there is hope.. without life there's no hope.. so I would keep plotting, planning and trying to escape.. or, if I couldn't escape I would find ways to make life a little better, a little easier if at all possible.

@Adaydreambeliever but with life comes despair too. never forget where there exist a possibility of hope there will be a possibility for despair.

@popmol indeed, but that's probably what separates people.. survivors and non.. there are those who never lose hope.. I think that there was something somewhere that highlighted that those with optimism fared better in prisoner of war camps etc.. SLavery, real slavery is evil... but if you can keep your spirit that's a good thing..

@Adaydreambeliever well but in war its different! i mean in war its just waiting, if the one on your side win you have a big chance of going free but if they don't you're doomed but if theres no war or incentive to free you then you're doomed.
