Exactly. And fear too.

How many of you have been convinced to do something you do not wish to do. For example, you are threatened with consequence for not doing it, or peer pressure from your friends, or some other reason. If you can be made to change your mind from trivial reasons such as consequences or peer pressure from your friends, then do you think it'll be easy to hold onto what you said if you are facing death?

You guys may sound noble and heroic now, but if some maniac looking guy actually went up to you, with a bloodstained knife, and told you he is going to stick it right through your chest, and is going to slowly pull it all the way down until you can see your intestines slide all across the floor, you'd very likely be thinking differently.
