To die and conquer is pleasant; but to die and be conquered is painful."
Explanation:
To die and conquer is pleasant but to die and be conquered is painful because living like a slave under invaders is very painful and shameful for the people who have self respect. Conquering a place is a very pleasant feeling but someone be conquered is a painful feeling. Those people having no self respect can live as a slave in order to save their life but those people who have self respect can't live as a slave. They prefer death instead of living as a slave so they revolt and fought for the freedom of theirselve and their country. So that's why the opinion of Rizal is correct. The kings in ancient times considered shameful to be conquered so that's why they fight till their death but can't accept the slavery of the conqueror.
