Philosophy stuff...

SuperGinge · Philosophy stuff...

You're in a concentration camp, by where if you don't wear the correct uniform you get shot by one of the guards.. You've just been raped and the rapist took some of your uniform meaning if the guards notice you will be shot..
Do you accept your fate or steal someone elses uniform?

My mate asked me that, she does philosophy and ethics, just wondered what you guys thoughts are on that...?

TreeHeart

I think these questions are impossible to answer, as you just never know what you would do.
I like to think I would take my fate, but in that situation, I wouldn't be ME, my brain would be so different, that I would probably steal someone else's stuff.

SuperGinge

Thats exactly what i said! and got shouted at by friends...but you just don't know until you're in that sort of situation how you would react....

I just read that question back and realised how morbid it is...

TreeHeart

It may be morbid, but at least we aren't really in the situation and hopefully never will be!

What did your friends say, because truly you cannot say either way. You could not possibly know how you would react.. Ok, you may guess correctly, but I think most people would do the opposite of what their gut is telling them now that they would do..

If you know what I mean

SuperGinge

well a couple said they would accept their fate...
But others said stuff like steal the uniform off a dead person, or just get them back off the rapist somehow...
My one mate said that he would form a relationship with the guard who would shoot him...but i'm pretty sure he was joking...

But yeah, you never know how you'll react, and hopefully we'll never have to find out...

TreeHeart

You know forming a relationship with a guard did come to my mind, soften one up a little. But the chances that would work are so slim, it's probably not worth the risk! hehe

I'd be looking out for myself and steal a uniform
