Ethics [Tuesday, March 31, Second period]

No Skywalker or other Jedi again this week. Instead there was a ninja and a story.

"Today we discuss a story about a sort of justice," Temari told the class dryly. "A king who has his own way of punishment and reward for guilt or innocence. The person accused had the choice of opening one of two doors to meet his fate. One held a tiger and the other held a woman to be married."

...yeah.

"Not exactly the reward I would like, but if one enjoyed that..." She shrugged. "The story is that the king's daughter fell in love with a man below her station, and--as punishment to him for this crime--he was forced to choose between the two doors. The princess knew which door held what and had the choice of which to tell him to pick. A stupid story if you ask me. They should have just run off before it got to that point."

Never mind that. "Break up into groups and decide what the princess told him to pick."

Chuck shrugged. "I don't know. I know that I just would."

He was trying to not admit he was the jealous type.

"I think I might be fairly jealous," Helen admitted.

"I think that would be the case with most people," Chuck said. "Of course, it could always be fun to watch him be miserable in his marriage because he was away from you."

"Hmm.. so which would be crueler," Helen pondered. "A relatively quick, if painful, death or a long drawn out and miserable life?"

"The drawn out life would be worse, definitely," Chuck said. He smirked. "So I guess we'd be the merciful ones for picking the tiger."

She smiled at him. "I wonder how many people would agree with us?"
