A Question of Morals: Would YOU Help Your Enemy?

  Author:  59214  Category:(Discussion) Created:(7/11/2003 4:08:00 PM)

Here is a metaphorical question. You know this bully who has been harassing you for years. He's dishonest, violent, and hurts people (mentally and physically) left and right. One day you see someone pound in his face in an alleyway and take his backpack/bag/briefcase.

You also happen to mysteriously recall the liscence plate of the car the robber lept into and sped off in. What do you do?

Would you: (a) Ignore it. The bully is ,after all, a bad person.

(b) Help him, but only if you knew you were getting something out of it. You figure, if I help him, he'll lay off me. Its a win/win situation. Seeing as he doesn't deserve pure kindess, you might as well take advantage of the situation.

Or

(c) Just plain help him, no strings attached. You figure, its just the right thing to do.

I would choose b. This guy is a real loser, he deserves everything coming to him and then some. But I'd chip in with the single notion: What's in it for me?

Shallow? I don't think so. If it was any other person, I never would have looked for something. And if this had happened and you DIDN'T catch the plate #, or simply weren't there at all but heard about it, you KNOW you'd say, "Ha! He deserved it." So does the fact that you COULD have helped mean you should have?

Just because you can help a murderer, should you? Is this the equivilant?

Pick and answer and explain your opinion. :-D

Date: 7/11/2003 4:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 18527    I'd help him, but I would probably be annoying about it.  
Date: 7/11/2003 4:11:00 PM  From Authorid: 53284    Wow what a question. I would help him with no strings attached. That doesn't mean that I would like him or anything, I'd just do what is right.  
Date: 7/11/2003 4:13:00 PM  From Authorid: 23075    Well that is a tough question...because I know someone personally that does this kind of stuff to his girlfriend all the time.....If it was him....then I would probably step over him.....and leave him there....and I wouldn't bat an eyelash as I did it. You have to know the whole story behind this one....but I'd leave him there to fend for himself.  
Date: 7/11/2003 4:17:00 PM  From Authorid: 33925    You know what?? I dont really know..the rational, reasoning side of me thinks I should help him because its just the right thing to do..but the other, more irrational side of me thinks that he deserves whatever he gets and then some and I would walk away and never look back..I dont really know...  
Date: 7/11/2003 4:20:00 PM  From Authorid: 46530    I would always say that there are worse bullies in the world, ranging from the playground thug, to George Bush. I would report the scumbag who's number I had and not bat an eyelid doing it  
Date: 7/11/2003 4:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 48689    I would help him! (c). It's the right thing to do even if you hate the guy!  
Date: 7/11/2003 4:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 62222    Actually it would depend on more detailed circumstances. Does he know you saw the liscense plate? If he doesn't know maybe you should chalk this up to karma working itself out. If you tell him he is likely only go to perpetuate more violence anyway. At the very least he'll try to "get even" with the person who stole from him. Maybe you should let it lie at him getting a dish of his own mediciene and remained uninvloved. I personally would do just that. I love it when nature works intself out like that, whether it is human nature or not. I was all prepared to say help him and don't look back but you know...I just can't. And people like me are just as ugly as bullies in some instances but I think I can deal with that. Yeah, I would smile and move on, but I am like that sometimes....<regretfulhalo>  
Date: 7/11/2003 4:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 49101    LOL@Farleys! I would pick C. Payback comes in many forms.  
Date: 7/11/2003 4:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 21867    ...been in somewhat of a similar predicament before...I chose to help, not for any personal gain...but simply because the person I was at logger-heads with was wronged...in the end we became friends...Peace,  
Date: 7/11/2003 4:59:00 PM  From Authorid: 62104    I would have to choose a) because what comes around goes around. why should he get a break? Amanda1  
Date: 7/11/2003 5:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 61977    I would help him, with no strings attached. Love your enemies. I was placed there to witness this for a reason. I would want someone to help me if this or an incident happened to me therefore, I would help my fellow man. Good post.  
Date: 7/11/2003 5:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 24924    I would first call out for help and or call 911 or ask someone to call. THEN I would quickly determine if there was anything of an immediate nature that I COULD do, that is to say, IF this individual had a gaping wound and needed the loss of blood to be stopped in some way. I'd take a piece of his shirt and fashion a tourniquet or something. Or if he wasn't breathing I would try to clear his mouth and position him, and give basic CPR. Chances are that by this time, there would be police and medical personnel arriving to take over. Put yourself in the place of a doctor or paramedic, they go out on a call to give aid and save LIFE....PERIOD. They are not told to only try to save the good guys. A life is a LIFE to medical personnel, as it should be.  
Date: 7/11/2003 5:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 39887    A. A bully deserves what he gets. There comes a time when the bully should have to walk in the other persons shoes. Its the best way to teach him a lesson. I would say if you can't take what you dish out then quit!  
Date: 7/11/2003 7:00:00 PM  From Authorid: 53052    i would never leave a person to die....  
Date: 7/11/2003 8:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 24845    I'd pick c. He may be seem like a horrible person on the outside, but you can't judge someone from thier heart. Not only that, doing one small deed, especially for someone that has hurt you, may change his life. That would make it worth it, not only for your own benefit, but for his and others. We don't know what may have happened to this person in the past to make him do what he did, and most of the time, bullys and others like them, have had really rough lives and they strike out at what they see as weaknesses in others because they see that same weakness in themselves.  
Date: 7/11/2003 8:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 54987    An injustice is an injustice whoever is the victim. If we do not help to bring about justice, we become a victim of our own selfishness. Two wrongs will never make a right, but a right will always triumph over a wrong. I can only do what is right for me. I cannot judge what you would do.  
Date: 7/11/2003 8:57:00 PM  From Authorid: 12341    Honestly? I don't know, since "he's hurt people physically and mentally for years", he's dishonest, violent and just plain rotten, so maybe it's time he got a dose of his own medicine. I would think of it like that, not what's in it for me, but for him. Although I would not want anyone to have their face bashed in. A punch or two maybe, so he knows how the poundings he's been dishing out for years, feel like.  
Date: 7/11/2003 9:07:00 PM  From Authorid: 47296    I would pick C. Although he may be a bully, he is still a human being. A lot of times, it takes the very thing he is doing happening to himself for him to wake up and see the light.  
Date: 7/12/2003 12:35:00 AM  From Authorid: 53900    C... because that person could kill someone the next time and could be someone you love this time rather then someone you dont.  
Date: 7/12/2003 6:32:00 AM  From Authorid: 10245    I hope I'd choose C regardless of who it was....  
Date: 7/12/2003 8:10:00 AM  From Authorid: 54247    C - help, no strings attached. There is no better way to help someone realize they are wrong. Never expect money or fame from helping anyone! RAT
