RE: Would you kill your best friend?

Oh, and another thing... When people are in real-life situations where everything happens fast, they normally don't think. There is no time to think, and body reactions and instincts become more pronounced... People who are trained to deal with disasters and stressful situations will probably do something fast. Some people, when faced with something horrible, will simply "freeze" because of the adrenaline rush overwhelming them. So... This philosophical dilemma kind of shows us who we are when we discuss it and think about it... but the real us can truly reveal ourselves only when actually facing it. And I do hope that none of us ever will have to deal with something like this in practice. But this is a good exercise to remind us to live more consciously and be aware even of the smallest actions and decisions in our lives.

Thanks for your comment.

I agreed with you

But as I said in other comments, there are those who do have to make this type of decision: police, firefighters, rescuers, presidents, military.

In some part of their lives, they will face these situations and what I really think is that what weighs more is to live with the decision made.

Thanks for coming by
