Watching this video reminds me, in hindsight, of my stupidity when it came to the drowning of the kid and his friends not helping him.

Talking with a conservative about his views on the matter, he argued that it's better to save the child even at the risk of drowning saying "What if that kid grows up to be a leader of peace or creates the cure for cancer?"

My response was, "he could also be Hitler... The possibility doesn't justify the risk." ...or so I argued.

I came away thinking, how do you justify the moral action of saving the boy with some concrete reason for it only to be stuck in circles of my shallow thought. Nice to rewatch this again and be reminded of the importance of values in this era of disillusioned ideals and realities in America.
