Hypothtetical situation

There are 5 people on two islands who are stranded.. 3 on one island.. 2 on the other.

The islands are separated by sharks.......

One of the people... PERSON A is deeply in love with PERSON D and wants to get across the water so that they can be with their lover. However PERSON A cannot build a raft and steer it all by themselves. It takes 2 people and can hold only 2 people.

They ask PERSON B for help. 'B' completely blows them off saying that they need to comcentrate fully on fixing the radio and that their love will have to be put on hold.

So they go to ask PERSON 'C' who says that they will help them.. but only if they have sex with them. At first 'A' resists. But after a while, it's considered it to be only physical. (a means to a ends.) And they have sex.

'A' and 'C' get the raft and sail over to the other island leaving 'B' by themselves on the first island as radio is still trying to be repaired. 'A' and 'C' reach the island.

PERSON D, the lover of 'A' says 'I know what you did.. And I never want to see you again.'

PERSON E, the other person on the second island says, ' I know what you did too but I understand why you did it. And if they don't want you, I would love to be with you.'


Who do you think is the 'best' out of all these people? Would you identify with any of them?


ME = PERSON B

Um, I'm not sure I would say B is the best person, but maybe the most rational given the circumstances...Did you make this up all on your own, OctGroom???

All of it

I just re-read it SLOWLY and i guess I'd identify with E if anyone. But that is totally by process of elimination!

Sorry Stepher..

It's like this...

PERSON A -- Will basically do anything for their love.. but may seem selfish to the others.

PERSON B -- VERY goal driven to the point of isolating themselves.

PERSON C -- Opportuntist but they got what they wanted.

PERSON D -- High standards of which behaviour is acceptable and unacceptable.

PERSON E -- Empathetic but others would argur that they are willing to accept 'second hand good' and perhaps look desperate.

Maybe you could say which person has the qualities that you value the most?
