And so it was one of those days when my mind wanders about and imposes a moral question to me. To put the question imposed to me in words, it would be something like this
"Given an opportunity to chose between two paths, one ends in disappointing the people who care about you, the other ends in you losing the people you care about, which one would you chose? "
I thought, lets for a change, look at the dilemma in an analytical way. After all, solution to other so called problems (of science) have been found on these lines. It should come as a no-shock when I say that the human mind first thinks for itself. So the obvious choice that would have been made in an instant, put in that situation, would be the first one. After all, who would like to lose someone they care about.
Now, let us add a flavor to the already grim situation. Like those reversible reactions of chemistry, what if the love/caring is bidirectional. Simply put, you also care about those people who care about you; and the people who you care about, also care about you. How would the human mind react in those situations? Would be similar to those reactions, when a definite catalyst can shift the equation to a certain direction? As those reactions, would it depend in a direct manner on how much pressure the individual is, how cool the individual is in those situations, the relative amount of people lost on each side (with all due respect, not looking to quantify it). I stopped analyzing at this point as the possibilities were infinite. And when I say possibilities, I mean to say the line of thinking of the individual, even when the parameters of the situation are well defined.You know, what I did realize at the end of all this analysis. Even though we have aped the neural network to create the connectivity in this world, we have never been able (so far, no idea what technology would throw at us in the coming years) to imitate the decision making capability of the wonderful human brain. Let this be a discussion for some other time. Let me know how you would respond to the situation, or at least how you would approach this situation...
