Thinking outside the box: A moral question

[Guest guest]

Moral Question:

 

You are driving down the road in the midst

of a terrible hurricane.

 

You see 3 people waiting at the bus stop.

 

A

very sick old lady who is on the verge of deathA

friend who once saved your lifeYour

soul mate.

 

Knowing your car has room for only 1

passenger, which would you choose?

 

Think for a minute before you make your

choice.

 

This question was once part of a job

application.

 

You

could save the old lady’s life.You

could save your friend’s life to pay him back for saving yours.You

could save your soul mate as you may never find another.

 

What would you do?

 

The candidate who was hired out of 200

applicants was the one who thought outside the box.

He said he would give the keys to his

friend to take the old lady to the hospital and he and his soul mate would stay

behind to wait for the bus together.

 

Sometimes if we are able to overcome our

limited thought processes, we can think outside the box and come up with

wonderful solutions.

 

 

Of

course the BEST answer is:

 

Run over the old lady and put her out of

her misery because she’s going to die anyway.

Have sex with the perfect partner on the

hood of the car.

Drive off with the friend to have a few

beers.

 

Don’t you just love a happy ending!
