| Like all good men Visualised by archtomato On Thursday, November 15, 2007 at 13:33 Hrs | Minimum B.S. Ok ok, Let’s say you’re the manservant to a really really rich guy who lives alone. The really really rich guy dies in his sleep. You know he owns a large piece of priceless antique that no one else has seen for a few hundred years, and you have access to it. If you steal the piece of antique, sell it, and give the money to a charity organisation (exclude NKF please … ) or maybe a village in vietnam, you can feed an entire population for a year. The village would otherwise starve. If you don’t steal the antique, it will go to his surviving family who has so much money they won’t care about it. Obviously it is illegal to steal the antique and feed the starving village in Vietnam. But do you have a moral obligation to commit the crime for the greater good? And if so, do you likewise have a moral obligation to steal anything else you can get your hands, from other really really rich dead guys or living neighbors, if you can use the stolen property for the greater good? ps: Helping yourself does not count. ps2: Helping your mother does not count too Technorati tags: Archtomato, Like all good men Main | Previous Article « A Dark Speech | Next Article » Silent Shrieks – The Writer’s Block Series This entry was posted on Thursday, November 15th, 2007 at 1:33 pm and is filed under Ageless.
