What would you do?

For some reason, this is exactly what I expected, the truth was the thought that the boy would be on the path of the train. A similar choice was made for the characters in Interstellar. I would leave my son (it is better to put in the place of the people closest to you to make it "more realistic"). For without my son, I could not live. The choice based on a counterbalance: to save the majority - to kill the most valuable, I do not argue, it is the most difficult ... But I would not hesitate a bit.

A person can be called a hero, in my opinion it needs to be very ... altruistic.

PS My minus receiver is ready :)

Special thanks to the author for an interesting topic.
Of course, it looks more like taking out the brain at Protestant meetings than in English universities. My choice is a son, I don't care about the rest.

Straight to spit? In my opinion, this is what a person who does not understand what death or loss is. Even the most experienced surgeons find it VERY difficult to survive the death of everyone. I am already silent about the soldiers, people are going crazy on this basis. And in fact, and in another case, you will have to live with this for the rest of your life! PTSD is almost guaranteed! Chronic nightmares every day? Yes please! And there are many other "goodies" besides the named ones ...

Only an unhealthy person can get pleasure from murder / death.

Buddy, "I hear a ringing, but I don't know where he is" - this is just your case) How do you know what I saw and felt in my life? I gave a more than intelligible answer, guided by life experience and personal convictions, which I shared ten years ago at a round table, among close friends.
Do not be offended if th))

My friend Constantine the misanthrope would have killed his son and people. He doesn't need anyone

Shpilin
No, you're right) Bad habit, sometimes I succumb to it, I'm sorry) I'm still very young))

I read three posts and it was revealed to me that the topic is slag. I haven't watched the video

Not you, another Constantine. Who writes to me how he hates Russia and quilted jackets

All the rules) Youthful maximalism, idealism ... he himself revered Cervantes as a dogma)

Well, on the topic, then the choice is obvious. I did the right thing. The son can still be made or adopted. Otherwise, you would simply be jailed for guilt in the death of passengers, and the relatives of the victims would have killed nafig, and the son would have become an orphan :)

And your beloved woman, who seems to you to be "fate", or your daughter, with whom you were close, as with the same woman, can all this also be "done back"? I love this kind of logic among people ...

But about guilt is far from a fact. These are difficult cases in court, because it so happened that he killed his son. It could have been justified, and a lesser degree could have been appropriated, anything could have happened ... I don't know.

The son tupanul, got what he deserved, the man did the right thing, if the train went off the rails and someone died there, then he would be jailed, the son would be left alone, and again somewhere he tupanul and died, and what we get - the dead in the carriage, the father is in prison, and the ruined life of his son, turning into suicide. The guy in the video did the right thing.

There is no choice here, which can be "right" or vice versa. The walking dead toy is a very good example of such choices. There is just a choice, no color.

And what about your beloved woman, who seems to you to be "fate", or your daughter, with whom you were close, as with the same woman, can all this also be "done back"? I love this kind of logic in people ...
Yes, you can. If you stop feeling sorry for yourself because of their loss and start moving. I generally consider love as an irrational neurotic need for each other.

Self-Relliant
People don't "feel sorry for themselves." They are simply ripped off a part of their world, mb even personalities in a sense. It's like ripping off a heart or part of the brain, some survive, some don't. A lot decides here. Some people love is very strong, there are times when a couple of people from beginning to end.

For other people, love is a toy. Met, played, parted. Hello, bye, love is not far away ... This incident can be compared to a small cut. All of this is relative, depending on the look.

If no one is against, I will quote my own quote: "The love of each person is expressed in different ways, it reflects what the person himself is. Weak - is satisfied in the lust of light, bodily contacts. Strong - in the knowledge of the infinite spirit of his half."

Tell them they have no choice. Replacing one need with another is quite possible - any psychologist will tell you this.

Self-Relliant There is a
choice. Eh, I can't take it calmly :(

To name all these feelings, that little world that merged with your little world ... a need ... I would send such a psychologist loudly and very, very far away. Love is not characteristic of any animal, in the fullness that is characteristic of man. This is not a need, this is pure humanity. The very idea, the very principles, the kindest feelings. It is not for nothing that Orthodoxy moves us to love everyone around (I’m not Orthodox).

Love is the greatest and strongest in man. Even a dead person, we continue to love, and someone and until the end of life can ... even through years of separation we continue to do this, through time and space, the last egoist (I am close to such egoists) is ready to give his life for his love. Need ...

Lord, a loving person will not reason in the key: "their loss cannot give you nothing." This is such ... such ... logic.

Love is a selfish need, you said that right. But the terrible truth is that no one wants to love, but everyone wants to be loved. Only saints or madmen who are completely devoid of pride are capable of unselfish love.

A very bearded video, I watched it a few years ago. It is not possible to react to this situation if such a choice was not faced by itself, to say for sure, or at least roughly how no one would be able to act himself, and this is not a pragmatic choice, but a momentary, emotional one. Also, the video comes with very straightforward messages, like those that show how son and dad are good, in real life there are a lot of parents who do not care about their children, and the uncle probably pulled the lever not because he is a fierce philanthropist, but because he just does not care about you don't want to go to jail. This is of course a personal interpretation, as in the video reveals only one side of the coin.

The love of each person is expressed in different ways, it reflects what the person himself is. Weak - satisfied in the lust of light, bodily contacts. Strong - in knowing the endless spirit of your soul mate.
I dare not agree: the division into "weak" and "strong" is as vague as possible, there are no real criteria, and one must understand that deep down everyone wants "to know the endless spirit of their half", but in fact it turns out "satisfied in the lust of light, bodily contact. " It's just that not everyone is as lucky as you, this must be taken into account =) Everything is by chance in life, it's like coming to a casino, and immediately knocking out the jackpot, and people spend their whole lives there, and die beggars, personal qualities here play almost the last role.

"But the terrible truth is that nobody wants to love, but everyone wants to be loved."
You speak for everyone, but in reality it is not so.

For some reason, at the moment I love a girl who loves me. And the best thing for me is to give her something, and not take it away. It's more pleasant to make her happy, rather than demanding or even thinking about her making me that way. I do not argue that if she didn’t * love me, then I would feel bad, but nevertheless, when both love, then both strive to give, not take.

forrest gimp
I do not argue, but I have a principle to be from one to the end, it was always in my head. And in general, for me, love has always been such a topic, fundamental, even rather life-determining. I don’t know if I’m capable of realizing it or not, I’ll find out by the end of my life. Relationship determines a lot, it is a very complex process. All the same, I believe that there are less weak, there are more powerful (I do not refer myself to anyone, time will tell who I belong to). The stronger will be loyal, the less - it is obvious that the opposite is true. Basically, I meant it, the loss is not so blurry?) Sometimes beautiful words require some loss of meaning, and ambiguity adds color to thought and some free thinking.

The first experience in love determines a lot. If a person did not manage to reach the level of sufficiently close relationships, then he will be "blind" (he will think that there is no love, that this is an "irrational neurotic need for each other," etc.), and this will continue until those very until, by the will of life, there is an opposite emotional color to the concept of love. A positive experience will stimulate a person to understand this deeper, to strive more for understanding, devotion and other important qualities as a partner.
