It's noble of you. I wonder what others, in different situations, have to answer - those, perhaps, without such obligations.

    no one will assume that you were right because it would throw their whole existence into question.

Is it a question in which a situation of being right may occur? It's a personal choice, you've already stated, so answering this in any way is as right as wearing anything you prefer. Maybe this is why nobody asks the question: because they already know the answer, and it's the life that throws them pieces with the taste of suicide to chew on. What do you think?
