Quote:Suppose this man is not Rich, he's just marginally better off than you, he has a minimum wage job and a shitty apartment, but it's better than being a beggar, would you kill him then?I don't think I would, in that case: I would see him more close to me. I would see a man struggling and working hard to earn a living, I would appreciate him for that, and therefore, I'd consider it as unjust to end his life and unjustly take what is his.
As about the rich man: You know, if I was a beggar for a few years and now I would stand behind this rich guy, I guess all I could think about would be my needs and desires, and of the fact that I have unjustly become in this very poor state, while I worked a lot and did my best, while this guy is a very happy person that only has fun and to whom money and parties just come with little to no effort. And I'd think that it would have been fair for me to have a lot for my very great effort, while he should have had very little to nothing due to his lack of effort. So I would think that it would be fair for me to have his riches, for my effort, while he should deserve nothing. These added to my great desire seen as almost already completed, and my confidence that I won't ever remember him, I would see the little push as a 'little' thing.
