    Moogle Help the Old Woman cross the road.

    Here's another morality question for all you EoFF'ers!

    Imagine... it's a bad day. You had a terrible night and couldn't sleep properly. You woke up late and had to skip breakfast. You rushed to school/college/work and left half your important books at home. Now you are about to go home when it starts pouring down with rain. On top of that, it is also warm weather, so rain + heat = humidity so you feel sticky and sweaty. Then you remember that you have somewhere SOOOO important to go to and you are going to be late and it would be EXTREMELY BAD if you didn't get to that place on time!

    So you start cycling/driving/running to where you are supposed to get to and trying your best to get to that place on time, when all of a sudden: You see an old woman trying to cross the road.

    It is a very big and busy road and the 80-year old woman looks so sad and scared, waiting at the side of the street with her bags of shopping and little doggy. It's obvious she needs help. And she is soaked with rain.

    So what do you do? You are having a truly terrible day and you are running late for this SUPER-IMPORTANT place you got to get to on time! Do you stop what your doing and help the Old Lady cross the road? Or do you get on with your own business... she'll make her own way across at some point. What dooooooo you do!?

    I'd help her even if I didn't want to Otherwise I'd feel even worse for the rest of the day.

    I'd help her by sure and I think my day would get better after it... Even if no one helps me crossing the road thats' no reason for me to don't help other people

    I'd get to where I'm going. She would probably understand if she saw me running anyway

    I'd only help her if she asked me. I'm far too shy to offer to help.

    I live in a city where there is, even on a busy road, a place for everyone to cross. If she's going to be difficult and go to a place where there isn't a crossing, then it's her own damned fault.

    These days, old women are more capable than one might be lead to believe.

    Help her out. It's not her fault that I'm having a lousy day, and I don't see why I should begruge her a hand.

    Many thanks Christmas!

    This happens to me practically every day anyway. As for the old woman stuff, it's none of my business. People don't help me in this world, so why should I?

    If I was rushing to get somewhere that was really important I'd not help her. She obviously managed to cross the road earlier to go get her shopping so she can cross it again.

    I'd help her, but honestly, I've never ever seen anyone needing help with crossing the road.
