You work very hard each day to barely get by and stuff but you still manage to eat a meal at the end of the day. You saved part of your two whole week pay little by little to buy a ice cream, and you do.. You walk out the store and notice two people laying down on the side of the streets as if they're dead and they're begging you for food.. Now remember, you don't really need this ice-cream of yours but those starving people do BUT you still worked for it, so these are all factors
What will you do? Like, will you share your food or keep it to yourself? The flip side of sharing is ofc you only get a PART of something whole that YOU worked for and they didn't..
Weird hypothetical. Doesn't make much sense, but I'll answer though.
Sure, I'd share the ice cream. I wouldn't particularly care that I'd "worked hard to get it' if it were just a treat to me, but life or death for people right in front me.
If I were wrong, and they were just "pretending" to starving, emaciated, and near death, then oh well. That's what I'd deserve for being dumb enough to waste an inordinate amount of money on ice cream during a worldwide food shortage crisis, instead of staples that would go much further like RICE or BEANS.
