I'm not willing to give my life.

To roughly paraphrase Patton. Don't die for your cause, make some other bastard die for theirs.

That's always been the goal, the point is more one of commitment. How much are you willing to lose to see your end through?

That's not to say that only those who max out commitment are allowed, just that you should know where your limits lie. Have frank discussions about your limits such that your allies can make contingency plans should your limits be reached, as you would do for those that martyr themselves.
