Seems that by definition, martyrs are considered willing. So I guess the question is, "What are you willing to be martyred for?"
For myself the answer is....I am actually rather willing to die for anything that is close to me or that I love, even some things that I don't always love. If someone threatens any of the things I hold dear, you can believe that I won't go down alone.
