only
when a very strong man (A) is with a very intelligent man (B) in the desert and there is not enough water left for both of themwho is more likely to survive?
A: "if you don't give me the bottle of water, I'll beat you up"
B: "you'd better give me some of it, otherwise you won't find your way"
there is in this verbal joust, a power struggle
but if we look beyond this power struggle, what is left that deserves to be questioned?
an ethics of decision?
"Does this decision honor us as part of the humankind ?
who cares? there are no witnesses !"
