Let's discuss more deeply

Today I did something...compared to that... I

came home and went shopping in the street in the afternoon, coldly. I just finished arguing with my dad and didn't want to stay anywhere.

There are three four or five-year-old children on the road blocking passers-by and begging. The so-called begging does not seem to be appropriate. Everyone has experienced it. It is called stalking. It should not be called begging. I wanted to ignore it and let it go, but unfortunately, my eyes crossed with a little boy with a dry nose on his lips and a broken bowl in his hand...

I was about to turn, but he was grabbing the corner of my clothes. Later, he was sitting on my right foot, holding my right leg, tightly wrapped around my leg, muttering words that I don’t understand... My God... Because it’s in the city center, it’s so too Embarrassed, I took two steps with a drag, then compromised, took out 50 cents from my pocket, and looked into his eyes.

This year's national snow disaster, your life is not easy, but those who asked you to come and ask for money... I thought in my heart, in fact, there have been many reports of this kind, and there must be an adult around these children who are instructing them.

I looked around and asked the child: "Tell me, kid, who is the one who asked you to ask for the money?" The child looked at me aggrievedly, and then shook his head. "Tell me, tell me, I'll give you the five cents, how about? Let's make a deal", he stared at my eyes, took a glance at the coin in my hand, or shook his head. I searched my trouser pocket and took out a coin and said, "If you tell me, this is all yours. You can hide it and don't give it to an adult, as long as you tell me." He still didn't say. I asked again and again, he thought it was not worthwhile, and then left.

The child is still smart, and it's not worthwhile to trade one meal for five dollars.

I was thinking, if he told me, would I do it? Call the police? Or do you scold the adult on the spot? Or take the child to the police station? Do you take him home? Think farther, the adult was taken away by the police, and the child was taken away by the police. If he was lucky, he would be sent home. He might have been bought by a human trafficker to beg, so why should his parents sell it? Because you can't feed? What if he has no parents? Who cares about him?

I am just doing a behavior, but it is likely to change the child and many other adults. But is the result what I want? Of course I did it out of good intentions, but I did not do anything wrong with kind intentions, but fortunately, it had little effect.

I felt like I was very cheap, so I was too embarrassed to put it back... I touched his head, threw the money in, and turned away.

right? mistaken? Inaction? Which way do you choose?

Everyone has his logic in doing things. At least he thought it was right. Different positions, different interests, different ways of thinking...no one is unified, friends' disputes, parents' quarrels...speaking bigger, Mao Zedong, Bush, Blair...Who dares to say that he is always right? What is the reason for the verification of weapons of mass destruction? What was the reason for the war in Iraq? There is also the Cultural Revolution...

how to act, the key depends on the purpose, which is the so-called position. This is a logical question.
PATRIC did this, and the reason he gave was that he had made a promise to the child's mother, and he didn't want the child to blame him for not taking her home in the future. The inspector's reason is to give her child a better living environment and to make up for the emotional gap caused by her loss of her daughter. Not to mention the neighbors, this matter has nothing to do with them, it is better to do more than to do less.

As for the law, have the police really not weighed the law and the girl’s life? The law is set by people in a historical time and has no foresight about what will happen in the future. Is human behavior based on historical provisions or based on the result of a balance of benefits and disadvantages?

Morality? Rousseau’s social contract theory has already been discussed. It is a rule of mutual concessions that people hope that others treat themselves as they treat others. So is PATRIC's behavior against ethics? Can someone stand up and tell me what is the moral evaluation of this matter? I think this matter has nothing to do with morality.

An act may have a qualitative effect on the outcome of the event. After the act, the outcome may not really proceed as expected.

So what can we do? I can only be a businessman. Which side has the least disadvantages and which side has the biggest benefits? Which side I choose. There are no good people and bad people, and there is no moral immorality. History has its own comment? I don’t think it can be clearly commented...
