Question: You accidentally discover an invention that can immediately help millions of people; but only if you act immediately. On the other hand, if you just wait three months, you can secure a patent and get rich. Which do you choose and why?
If I accidentally discover an invention that can immediately help millions of people, and I had the choice to immediately and help all of those people or wait three months and secure a patent and get rich, I do not know what I would do. I would love to say that I would be the good Christian I have been raised to be and help the people while sacrificing the wealth I could have had, but I do not know. When people are placed in actual situations, they react differently and we do not always do what we think we will. The pressure and heat of the moment can make us change from doing something good to mad and potentially result in making us make huge mistakes. I would like to stand before you know and say I would help all those people and forget about the money, but I cannot honestly do that. The truth is I do not know where I would be and what I would be doing. Who knows, I might need the money to pay for my mother or father’s surgery that cost millions of dollars. On the other hand, maybe I will already be rich living the high road. Therefore, in my heart, I want to say that I hope I would be filled with integrity and save those people’s lives. The world is filled with greed and evil. It needs someone to come in and save it. People need to start looking at the bigger picture, and doing whatever they can to help ignoring the money, fame, and other things our society now feels is important. I hope all people would do the right thing in this situation and save those people.
