Topic: what would you do? | |
---|---|
You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus: 1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. 2. An old friend who once saved your life. 3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about. Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car. Think before you continue reading This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first. Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However , you may never be able to find your perfect mate again. The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams." Now that was the best answer..... Smart fellow. Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to "Think outside of the Box." HOWEVER.... One answer was to run the old lady over and put her out of her misery, have sex with the perfect partner on the hood of the car, then drive off with the old friend for a few beers. Kat |

I'd pick up the old lady, and take her to the hospital.
My best friend was selfless enough to save my life. He'll understand that another life is in jeaporady and needs to be saved. If the woman was TRULY my "perfect partner", she'd understand that I had to save the old lady's life, and I would be back for her ASAP. That's what I would do. |

I'd give the old lady a ride
Give the old friend my number and get theirs to get in touch with later. If the guy is truly my 'perfect' partner, he'll find a way to find me again..... |
