A Principle To Keep

A principle I would always keep with me no matter what the circumstance is would be to leave no man left behind. I would never leave anyone behind because leaving someone to behind is basically telling them that they are of no use to you and that you don't want them with you anymore. You are abandoning them and leaving them to fend for themselves. In the scenario of an apocalypse you are leaving them to die because no one would be able to survive on their own. If you abandon them they will feel hopeless and depressed because the only friends they had left them behind. The person that was left behind might feel like they were a burden and feel sorry for themselves which could push their sanity to the very edge. Also if you leave them behind and other people witnessed that they might do the same to you to see how you like it. Another think that could happen is that after you abandon someone they could survive on their own and come back to hurt you for simply abandoning them. Similar to how some serial killers or psychopathic people in movies kill their parents for abusing or abandoning them. Leaving someone behind could break that person and haunt them for the rest of their lives, which is why never leaving someone behind is a principle I will always keep no matter what the circumstance is.
