It depends on the property.
I have medication I need to live. If I don’t take it regularly daily, a clock starts ticking. When the time is up, I die.
When I travel I treat my bags like my life. I recent had nasty run in with an airline that wanted me to check my bags. I refused to get on the plane.
When I took the next flight, my checked baggage didn’t make the connection.
I might have survived if I got to the ER fast enough. But those bags are my life.
In developing countries, petrol means access to medicine, food, etc.
“Property is more important than life” is a luxury belief for the wealthy and healthy.
- user_7832 4y agoYeah, it definitely depends on the context. If someone stole my bag from my car they'd get a few ml of insulin which is practically worthless to them, but is absolutely necessary for me. If you don't mind my asking, what medication do you take?
- pyuser583 4y agoI’d prefer not to say. HN has a no deletion policy after two hours, so I’m more cautious here than on other forums.
- user_7832 4y agoTotally understandable. It's also the biggest reason I have a pretty pseudo-random username here even though all my other usernames on social media are almost the same.
- nkrisc 4y agoThe exception that proves the rule.
