Dear Nairalander, PLEASE! Answer This Serious Question, What Will You Do? If…. by aduagbemi(m): 4:44pm On Jan 06, 2017 |
Robbers enter a house, asks for all the money and valuables. After they collect what they can, they give the man of the house a gun with instructions to shoot his wife or else he be shot himself. The man gets the gun, points it at his wife and hesitates. He is thinking of what he has gone through in life with his wife and how she has suffered and sacrificed for him. He hands back the gun and says, “I am sorry I can’t do this… “The boss of the robbers silently grabs the gun from him and passes it on to the wife with the same instruction. The wife gets the gun and without any single hesitation points to her husband’s head and pulls the trigger. But at last, the gun had no bullets in it. The robbers get their gun and walk out of the house laughing. **QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION*** 1. If you were the man in that house how would you react towards your wife? 2. If you were the wife, what explanation can you give to your husband! 3. If you were invited to bring peace between this couples, what advice would you give? Drop your Comments & this should really be an interesting topic to discuss as counsellors. |

She must follow the robbers as they leave the house. |

I would look at her, smile, then hug her. Love is for children and lotus-eating characters that live inside the pages of a Mills-and-Boon classic. At the end of the day, self-interest is the motive power behind every single human behaviour. Brand it Machiavellian, call it Darwinian --- whatever you call it, it remains an irrefutable truth that we think about ourselves first in every situation. PS: I would have pulled the trigger. |

DarkRebel101: Interesting. I disagree. I am sure I wouldn't pull the trigger and I wish I was able to think about myself first in every situation. In fact, I have made a new year resolution to do so in 2017. Let's see how it goes. It won't be easy, speaking from experience. 1 Like |

Mindfulness: Talk is cheap. When you have a gun pointed at your skull, your brain takes a sabbatical, it goes into auto-pilot mode, there and then becomes a fight-or-flight situation, and the instinctual drive to survive kicks in. Yes, there are those who wouldn't pull the trigger, but it's easier for a camel to pass through a rabbit hole than it is in finding those breed of people. So, don't say you are sure you won't pull the trigger, at least not until you've ever had to make the choice. There are no sureties in the face of death. “No plan survives the first shot”— Napoleon Bonaparte |

author=DarkRebel101 post=52642484] So is yours. When you have a gun pointed at your skull, your brain takes a sabbatical, it goes into auto-pilot mode, there and then becomes a fight-or-flight situation, and the instinctual drive to survive kicks in. Not everybody fights or flees. Some people are shell-shocked and paralysed for while, others faint. Yes, there are those who wouldn't pull the trigger, but it's easier for a camel to pass through a rabbit hole than it is in finding those breed of people. The problem is that you think that someone who wouldn't shoot his wife / her husband is someone who is altruistic but this is not what I had in mind. I seriously doubt I could blow a loved one's brains out. Call me a coward. So, don't say you are sure you won't pull the trigger, at least not until you've ever had to make the choice. There are no sureties in the face of death. I didn't say I was sure but I doubt I would have the guts to kill a human being, a loved one even less. By the way, it is not death I am scared of, you are. 1 Like |
