Say a person is dieing on a street corner, a man walks by...really wants to help but can't. contemplates it, wants to do it but somehow isnt able to. Suddenly a man coincidently walks into this person dieing, even though he had no intention of helping him, but now that he's walked into him, he does help him. Which person is considered the better person, why or why not?

this reminds me of the whole ideology that being good means nothing if you don't do good things, in order to be a good person, you have to do good things, i'd say the second man would be a better person

ohh i really like this question. i would say that they are both good people. thw man that happened to walk by.. he wasnt asked to help him and neither was the other man.. but he helped him. the one thing that the man who couldnt help did wrong was that he didnt go for help. but this is a hard question that i dont think i can answer! haha

Whoever does good without thought about themselves and doesn't think what they are going to gain from it.
