Yes, I´d find the big rock problematic. Although I´d probably starve to death, or be eaten by cannibals. Taking a shotgun to someone over food goes against my nature (I can say now as I sit here with a full stomach). I´d rather just give them the food or water, and, unfortunatly with the way we are depleting our resources, it may come to that.
No rocks for me. Ever.
Yani, öylesine ciddiye alacaksın ki yaşamayı,
yetmişinde bile, mesela, zeytin dikeceksin,
hem de öyle çocuklara falan kalır diye değil,
ölmekten korktuğun halde ölüme inanmadığın için,
yaşamak yani ağır bastığından.
(Nazım Hikmet, Yaşamaya dair, the whole poem and the translation is in the poetry section.)

NEED HELP TO CHOSE YOUR ROCK, ANYONE?
