So I found the rule of three's interesting and kind of adopted it as almost a warning but now I have heard a less common version.
3 months without companionship
3 weeks without food
3 days without water
3 hours without shelter
3 minutes without air
3 seconds without faith
Just wanted to see hear your opinions on it and I'm not saying faith has to mean religion or that companionship means people.
3 weeks without food
3 days without water
3 minutes without air
This is the only rule of three that I have ever heard of. The 'addons' are subjective, and untrue, IMO.
Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!
Cat's are food... not friends!
If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
I am not saying they are absolutes. I just thought it was an interesting point of view adding in a few mental things as well. Without hope or faith you would really just give up right in the beginning and without companionship or something to fight for why would people even see the need to continue if they have no reason to try?
Well, a persons will to live is something pretty big I would say. As far as companionship and faith, those are subjective to a persons personal belief system. Myself, I think I will stick with Sniper-T on this one, air, water, food are my primary, the others, ehh, not so much
RELIGION IS LIKE A PENIS
Its fine to have one,
Its fine to be proud of it,
But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.
lol fair enough.

Companionship will only come to mind after you've survived. The something to fight for is called survival.
The rule of three is just that... a RULE. Although it isn't set in stone (I knew a guy who can hold his breathe for 4-1/2 minutes.)
The others, you may think are important, and for some may be... but:
Billions of single people exist without companionship.
Umpteen million homeless people exist without shelter
And only God knows how many have no faith, yet continue to exist

Well said . To each their own.
It matters not other peoples beliefs or thoughts ; only your convictions will dictate whether you survive or perish.
Maybe hope would have been better than faith?
OP isn't too far off really. Sure initially survival is most important. But... There's always Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.
