Which way is the best- A or B?

Are you a man of principles?
Do you like to follow the rules no matter the cost?
There are situations in life that puts us in an unpleasant position- we might be left with two evils as options or one evil and one good with consequences.
For example, you might be faced with a challenge that leaves you with two options; cheat in an examination or fail with honor, even when we know there’s no honor in failure.

Another situation that might impose a challenge- You and one of your siblings or a friend are seeking a job at the same firm. You need the job as badly as your sibling/friend does. Although, you’ve been job hunting longer than your friend/sibling. There’s a way to get the job which you know but your friend/sibling doesn’t and it leaves a vacant space for ONLY one person. The options you’re left with are; get the job at the cost of whatever kind of relationship between the both of you or let he/she have it while you wait for another opportunity.

One of the biggest challenge: Is it morally wrong to kill a person?- what if you had to take a life for some greater good?

All of the above situations may bring hard or difficult choices depending on our morals, codes, and ethics. The choices we make may have a short term effect or may be a continuous punch in the face for life.
I’ve seen a lot of people do things that they claim they can never do no matter the what and whatnot.

Dr. Jonathan Cohen of Princeton, a psychologist and expert on brain imaging who worked on the study believes that our respective cultural backgrounds affect our judgements on what is right and what is wrong. Dr. Jonathan Haidt, an expert on moral psychology at the University of Virginia, agreed.
Dr. Haidt said and I quote: “Children don’t learn about morality from simply reading the Ten Commandments or being guided through moral dilemmas by classroom teachers. Children learn by observing how their parents, teachers and other adults react to moral problems and by showing emotions like sadness, happiness, anger and disgust. Children internalize those reactions in emotional brain circuits, when they encounter morally challenging situations later in life, these automatic gut feelings help guide their decision making.”

Be it good or bad, greater evil or lesser evil, one way or another we come across situations where we make choices. Tell me what you think in the comment section and you could also share a challenging situation you faced.
