Which one will you choose
A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track. The train came, and you were just beside the track interchange. You could make the train change its course to the disused track and saved most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way? Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make................ Analyze the situation…………. Think and reflect……. Decided your answer !!!! Now … go ahead Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. To save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally. But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place? لا يوجدtheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was. This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are. The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him. To make the proper decision is not try to change the course of the train because the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens. If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe. If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids. While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one.

Uknowme79..
Thanx very much for posting this interesting article. you made me live the moment ..as it was happening .. it felt such a complicated situation ..also very hard decisions to make.. there are always a difficult decisions in our life to make... and its really confusing.. I would like to high light the moral in your topic .. which is absolutly True.. Very sadly http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_9_7.gif the fact tha is many innocent peoples are more often to be the victoms of mindless decisions that majority makes Though we know its not fair.. but we remain silent as theres nothing we can do about it :( ..http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_9_136v.gif |
Yes you're right Rose but why don't we step out and do something about it?? I mean that would be like standing under the rain and saying "ohhh no it's raining" we must try to do something and change things to the good always, if we can't do it by hand then there is talking and I don't think talking would be that hard to do...anyway, thanks again and hope to hear from u soon

I strongly agree with you Uknowme79..we should do something about it.
But in order to change some owful fact in our miserable life ..we need some EARS that would listen and respond to our aid appeal.. to hear our help call with mercy. But unfortunatly there is no such thing as Open Ears at least to the poor minority But that doesn`t mean we should give up .. there is nothing over really .until the day we stop trying So lets pretend that someone will hear our voice one day. i really wish so. PEACE |
You're totally right and I have no further comment you said it all
:) Thanks for being one active member...actually, I wanna thank Sadness, Wad al-wed, and You for making this place alive...it's dead without you 3 here |
