HOW WOULD YOU DEAL WITH THIS DILEMMA?

I received this little entry from a friend in India Who has a blog/journal in another location. I really like how this persons mind worked when asked this question. The people asking the question also liked it because he was the winner.  Very very Impressive Question and Answer...  Question:   You are driving along in your car on a  wild, stormy night, it's raining heavily, when  suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three  people waiting for a bus:    An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.  An old friend who once saved your life.  The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.  Which one would you choose to offer a ride to,  knowing very well that there could only be one  passenger in your car?   This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.   * You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first;  * Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life... And this would be the perfect chance to pay him back.  * However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.   The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) Had no trouble coming up with his answer. Guess what was his answer?   He simply answered:   * * * * * * * * * *   "I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams."   Sometimes... We gain more, if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to... "Think Outside of the Box."

Dilemma

Well being the misanthrope that I am, I am not really moved to sympathy by strangers, so it would not occur to me to give the old lady a ride. It would be a toss up between my friend and my perfect match, but if I knew for certainty that they were my perfect match, and I would not see them again, then I would probably choose them becasue if I was really good frineds with my friend, they would understnd.
