The Morality of Murder (part 1)

Imagine that you are driving a car that has no brakes & at the end of the road there are five workers but you just noticed that there is other sub way that has only 1 worker, & you have no other options but killing one of them, what would you choose ? the answer of the majority for this question would be to kill the 1 worker to save the other 5, right ? but imagine with me another situation where you are on the top of a bridge and while your looking down you realized that there is a car that also has no brakes and there are 5 workers on its way but beside you there is a very fat man who if you pushed him from the bridge would hit the car and die but you gonna save the other 5 workers, what would you choose ? I think again the answer for the majority would say that they WONT EVER push this fat person from the bridge no matter what benefits you gonna gain from doing so!

So now we have two situations, one of them you agree to kill 1 for saving 5 .. & the other you disagree to kill 1 to save 5 .... the benefits are the same in both situations but yet you can't agree on both of them !

Can you explain why ?(Comments are welcomed)

Because the human nature likes to choose when it is forced to choose ! this is how the choices problem could be explained, how are we able to choose everything in our lives and in the same time destiny could direct us in the way of things that we think its not out of our choices, its a complicated equation......

you are a part from the system so the system controls you but in the same time the system is a part of you and that's how you can control it too

I am not sure wether if you guys are following with me or the words became complicated, anyway ill give u and myself a break .. and then ill write the 2nd part

so....to be continued :)

  1. zoom in view:i would never choose between getting or making harms &this is neither negativity nor selfishness as it isn't my fault from the beginning so why i assume it at last but my reaction will be shouting aloud to pay their attention then watching them taking their steps
    zoom out view: i'm totally with you about the destiny and the choosing process all this system governed by us "people" but for sure ALLAH knows what we ganna choose or do as ALLAH create us so Allah know every single action we ganna do & is registered before
