what price would you place on your life in search of an uncertain reward?

What a great question. It is apt, as people all over the world risk their lives for money and for revenge every day:

If they do that here in one of the safest and richest countries on Earth, I would venture to assume many more still do that in a country where heroin production serves as the very cornerstone of the economy.

But your question is good, and so I will take it up:

Let's say I were legally risking my life for an amount of money that would buy me --totally in the clear-- five or six houses, maybe:

Would I do it? Yes, I do think so.

Would I do it if it carried that same uncertain reward and ALSO snub the same Enemy Ppeople who had just beheaded my friend in my village...?

That answer is very easy, even though I might dress up my material decision in some specious intellectual finery, yes.

That was a very flowery way to admit that you don’t know yourself, but you are willing to make a boatload of assumptions about others.
