Dilemma 3/29/09

You have the magical power to stop one and only one of the following two scenarios. Which would you prevent?

1. You accidentally kill someone.
2. You deliberately kill someone in self-defense.

I'd prevent #1, unquestionably. I'd suffer debilitating guilt over #1. While I'm sure I'd feel conflicted about #2, any misgivings would be mitigated by knowing the alternative was me being dead.

No sweat. Prevent #1.

Prevent #1 without a doubt. The guilts over killing someone by accident would probably kill me also.

Stephanie said...

Yeah I'd prevent #1 as well.

Ack: I think I accidentally deleted someone's post. Not sure how I did that. It was completely unintentional. Please repost, whoever you were!

Oh, I see, Blackbelt, you deleted it. (Odd the name of the poster doesn't show in the leave a comment page, but does in the regular blog page....)
