For those who asked for an analogy, I'll give it a go:
You find yourself in a burning building with another person inside. You don't know when or if the roof will come down on you, but the other person is hurt, and unable to walk out themselves. In fact, you're not even sure if they'd make it at all, if they're at all alive still. You'd have to not only support them but carry them out..You have the choice to take the risk of the burning building coming down on you and dying or being injured for life, and perhaps saving their life in the process...or you can walk out and save your neck.
I know what I would do. Do you? And can you understand why someone else would pick the other option?
Can we really blame the ones who decide to choose certainty of life and walk out that door? And...don't you think their conscience will already take care of any judgement you could possibly utter?
Can your family and friends really blame you for staying inside and risking your life, considering the amount of hurt you're possibly about to put them through?
Just my two cents...
Wow I was just about to say that.
There is a person inside and you are aware.
There is a person inside and you aren't aware.
There isn't a person inside and you are aware.
There isn't a person inside and you aren't aware.
1. you get them
2. you go try. * this is the case. The baby could die anyway. The person could also die of a heart attack inside the builing before you get to them. Does that make ok to choose whether to go in or not. You just go in. Its just as irresponsible as if you knew they were there and healthy.
3. don't go.
4. don't go.
