Why men live in constant contradiction

This is something out of a philosophy class I’m taking. If you take a step back and think about it, it kinda makes sense!

Here’s one view some people might take about life.

1) Me
2) My family
3) My friends and neighbours
4) My fellow citizens
5) My fellow humans

Here’s the other view

1) Thou shalt not steal
2) Thou shalt not murder
3) Thou shalt not break a contract
4) Thou shalt not make bad loans
5) Thou shalt not commit neopotism

If you took a slow look through each set of views individually, at seperate times, you might agree that these are the sort of values many humans live by. Here’s the tricky part.

If say one day you find your dad, you mum or a sibling of yours committing murder, what would you do? Would you cover up for him or would you turn him in?

Pretty tricky agreed? Take sometime to think about it and let me know how you feel!
