I'm in a comfortable position in my life right now, so I'm fortunate. That said I don't know if I would sell myself out for that money. The money would be no good after I off'd myself from the guilt of being such a piece of shit. I'd probably be awesome for a while, but I'd either turn into the unempathetic monsters I hate, or it would catch up to me. Not worth it.

Really I'd probably take it... I'm human.

I'm afraid of the fact I may, but most likely not. What would I do with it? My problems with the few main things in life are not about money. Even in the moment of such a hard decision I'd likely just not take it out of fear for what'll happen with my head.
