Context: So I just remember this after digging through memories.

So my mother was watching/reading some weird social media thing and there was this this question was asked to guys in China, and it’s supposed to be a dilemma because if you say save your mother, your girlfriend will break up with you, if you say save your girlfriend, your mom’s gonna disown you (cuz filial piety).

And so anyways, I think I was like 15 or something, and my mom asked me the question… I kinda froze because idk what to say… it was such a weird question. Then mom was like: “Of course you have to save me first, I raised you, remember? You only have one mother in this world.” … Something something… “People with blood relations to you comes first”.

Now reflecting on that memory, that was so awkward…

Ever been asked this question?

How would you answer if your mom asked that?

    There are so many questions to which there is no right answer, but most of them do have a wrong answer (in this case, neither) and it would significantly increase both-

    peoples ability to make a non-wrong decision in time to do any good

    -and-

    their ability to find peace afterwards

    -if assholes would stop acting like anyone is a bad person for not seeing their version of the right answer.
