RE: Jenseits von Gut und Böse? Teil 3 | Beyond good and evil? pt 3
if you saw the opportunity to confront the terrorists, I would try, because in the end, I would still be dead
So you would try this in your own interest to survive, not with the main intention to do good? And did you take into account that "in the end" you still WILL be dead, even if you would get out of the situation - since immortality is out of our range?
I suppose you are a philosophy student or perhaps a professor???? This given the complexity of the questions.
Airplanes were designed with the purpose of not failing and suffering intentional or unintentional accidents from any cause: the chances of survival are almost nil; it is not the same as a car, a motorcycle, a boat or a horse, so to speak, where the chances are greater. In that sense, why not try to do something, if in the end the most likely result is that you will die. Sometimes it is not only about doing the common good but also about doing what is necessary to survive and, at the same time, the greatest number of people survive. Can you imagine if we were like ants? If so, a few terrorists would not be able to fight against the multitude of people, because even if some would die, others would survive.
So, being like that, it all depends on the perspective: How to do good? If you are not alive or if you cannot guarantee your own survival, and you simply give up by letting yourself be subdued. Death is the only change we have for sure in this life, because for that all we need is to be alive.
The way of thinking can vary in all people my friend, since each head is a world, a universe, and each decision, a myriad of possibilities, and I try to take mine to a 50% probability if possible, although there are never guarantees of anything.
