Fairness, നീതിപൂര്‍വ്വം

This is a what’s app share. It may be an old one for you, may be even one or two decades older. But I couldn’t resist sharing it with you.;)

If you wanna read the English version, please ask the 18 year old guy ( Google ) “kids playing on a railway track”

fault

After reading it, many questions arose in my mind..

Morally and emotionally correct decision( if you switched to the closed track) , but was unfair and ultimately sidelined the minority..

Tough decision making .. lack of social trust..unfair treatment..sidelined minority

What do you think..?

Keeping these emotions apart, we need to be sensible..isn’t it..?

    True Akhila, and i wonder how we don’t even give a minute to that sort of thinking. We try to sideline who’s right just to keep the interest of few at the expense of that right. So, i guess the conclusion is to think what’s to be done in that sort of decision making but like in real life we have less time to respond. Would you think it to be possible to take the right decision devoid of emotions, that’s what we are made of and installed off too ?

      yes.. shalz.. it is pretty difficult to escape from emotions..moreover, here in this case, even if we go with the moral side, it would ultimately become a wrong decision

        Right ! contradicting most of the theory of rational decision. Humans are complex that’s why, and ever changing with situations. Or i heard somewhere it’s difficult to be right, at times we have to satisfy being unfair, maybe in Devdutt Patnaik when he mentioned hierarchy/ unfairness.

        hmmm..ideally one must not! but in real life, most of us react instinctively, w/o thinking much about the implications & right/wrong/ethical aspects

          if we could be relived of emotions, there will be a subsequent reduction in reflex actions too

              emotions and reflex actions go hand in hand..

          Knee jerk reaction to situations and challenges increases with the higher levels of selfishness, competitiveness, jealousy, need to control and desire to “get things done” without thought being taken regarding long-term consequences. It is very difficult to refrain from instantly reacting to pressure. People who learn to meditate (as one example) I think have better control over their emotions in times of crisis. Of course the more we practice selflessness, the more empowered we are to make the best logical choices. I think the example given is one of those that have no ultimate solution. For example, “Can God make a rock so big he can’t lift it?” If he can, he’s not omnipotent and if he cannot, he’s not omnipotent. It’s a no-win situation. So one admits to being unable to solve the problem through simple humility.

    Right and wrong are relative. Assume, all those escaped realize value and support many others through the name of one who forced to sacrifice….. Later, people will write and talk about the real meaning of that one child. Yeah, there are too many unknowns.. we work with knowns… So we apply ‘sense’. It’s like, you create bug in thw software

    I think the problem demonstrates the situation with our global civilization in a time of total selfishness and heedless hedonism where “having fun” is more important than being responsible. In this case, train and tracks represent the System; the kids playing on the tracks are people who don’t care about their own safety, or the angst they will cause the train operator. Whatever the operator does to mitigate the end results of catastrophe, the responsibility lies with the kids on the tracks not paying attention, and they shouldn’t be there in the first place. There is no “fix” for this problem because the problem began with lack of parental teaching on responsibility and lack of supervision. When the train arrives, it’s too late. And this society is playing on the tracks -both used and unused and the train is almost upon them already. So? Too late now.

    It is not about the right and wrong decision. It is not about punishment and saving either. I hate to sound like this, but it is for the ‘Greater Good’. The less of the two evils? No one deserves to be punished in this case. We do what we have to do…
