I'm sorry if that's a stupid question; I'm just not familiar with the martyr world, I guess.Well, its simple. You have to die. The exact circumstances, no one can know, perhaps it will be through glorious combat, execution, assasination, or meaningful alturistic or vengeful self sacrifice. You might well be the most intense person I've never met.
If we can go with sci-fi.
My calling: Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
All I've wanted since I was a kid was to become Wonder Woman. By that, I mean one who fights for truth, justice, and sisterhood. And kicks ass. And is sexy.
Right now, my calling is waiting for these hotties to fill this thread with kisses.
Now we're delving into what we want to do, not what we're doing. I don't think everyone has found a calling yet. I haven't.

But in the old days, our mothers would dye the hair of their sons with red henna, when going to battle, so that they would become martyrs. The deal with the henna is, that usually a sacrificial animal unto god is dyed with red henna, and mothers would do so as to sacrifice their sons unto their people, by sending them away into battle with red henna on their heads, whether they died in battle or came back, it was the intent that mattered. Üze Tengri basmasar, asra Yir telinmeser, Türük bodun ilingin törüngin kim artatı udaçı erti? I probably have several. Philosophy, languages, religion. My callings don't lead me to useful things. I find the things which take me actual places far more interesting than any meditation on special talents and callings. I remember when I was 16 and I came to the conclusion that I would never do anything great. Now, here, in my fiftieth year, I find myself doing the things I never thought I'd be capable of. Dreaming is useless. The future is now.
