As I followed the scenario of the drowning child, I thought about the number of times I have been in that position as myself, in so many different circumstances. The saying " experience is the best teacher" has been the mantle and the backbone of my values since childhood and has always opened my eyes and mind to different number of different things individuals experience in their daily lives. Sometimes staying ethical in some situations would mean saying no, which, of course, can be heartbreaking, but the experience of the aftermath can be positive. But in a society where everyone is going through something, who has the right to say one thing is ethical and the other isn't?
