Perhaps I should save the lives of the several hundred ants zipping along on top of the track? Brush them off. More lives, more moral?

Just asking!

If I save the chimps, can I just let them go? Or are these tracks in the middle of a city, so I'd have to care for them? Would I be a monster to save them, then ignore them? Or the baby? If I save it, can I just leave it by the tracks and go on my way? Busy day today! Much to do! No time for a baby! Lol.

Philosophers' moral choice dilemmas leave me flat because they consistently lack context. But life is all about context.

If I am alone in a room, unmoving, and something brushes hard against my arm? This is a moment for serious alarm. Wtf! But today (true), as I sat in the dentist's chair with his drill in my mouth, the assistant's chair brushed hard against my arm and I didn't flinch. At all.

Same generic ‘feeling’; entirely different response. Context matters.

Thanks for the read!
