Another real example and a real life dilema. As I was boarding a PHL-SFO flight, I noticed a wad of twenty dollar bills on the gate ramp. There was not anyone in front of me. When I entered the plane, there were three businesman in expensive suits up front and a man in poor health in the back. As I counted out the $500 in crisp twenties, the angel and devil were bouncing up and down on both shoulders. A primo dinner and even better wine could be had with this ching in SFO or, The big OR. I could go ask the poor man in the back if he had lost any money. Long story short, I
asked the man in the back if he had lost any money. Affirmative for the amount and the denomination. My moral dilema is what if there hadn't been a Poor Old Man in this story? I'm not sure if I would have asked my Upfront Companions if they had lost the dough ray me. Does that make me a bad person?
