WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

 Imagine a stranger sits on your porch, claiming he wants to join your family. You tell him that’s not possible, but he insists and stays. When you call the authorities, they say they're too busy to help, so he remains on your porch for hours.

Some people will say that they will get a gun and wave it around it. You say to the man, “ if you don’t leave, I will shoot you.”

 And he says “well go ahead, I’ve seen so many bad things, I am not afraid to die.”

 So, what do you do? Are you justified to kill a man in cold blood who is just sitting on your porch? if you did then you'd have a dead bloody body on your hands. And, say, the authorities are just too tied up to come and help. So, if you shoot him, you'd have a bloody body on your hands and also the fact that you just murdered a man unarmed for no reason except that he's sitting on your porch and wanted a better life.

So, you don't shoot him, and he just sits there. And he sits there. And then he knocks on your door, and he asks if he could use your bathroom. And of course you don't want to let him in your house. But he says if you don't let him in, he'll defecate right there on your porch. You don't want that, right? He had no plans for leaving. So, you say OK, I'll let you use my bathroom if you leave. And he says OK. So, you let him where you stand by the door. let him do his thing. He comes out and goes back and sits on the porch. He hasn't lived up to his bargain but what can you do.? You're still stuck with this stranger on your front porch.

A little while later he knocked on your door and says he's hungry. And you say,  go find something to eat. And he says I can't.  I want to stay here on your porch because I want to become part of your family. He sits there and he's hungry but he doesn't go. You're in your house realizing there's a hungry man on your porch. Are you the kind of person that can just let a man on your porch starve?

And eventually night falls and it gets a little cooler. And he's cold out there. He's getting colder and colder. You ask him to leave again. But he says no he wants to be part of your family. So, what do you do? Are you the kind of person to let a poor starving man on your front porch freeze to death? You call the authorities again, but they're all booked up they just can't help. Are you the kind of person to let him sit there on your porch, starving and needing the bathroom?

As night settles in and the temperature drops, the situation grows more serious. The man on your porch is clearly suffering from the cold, shivering as he sits outside your door. You ask him once again to leave, hoping he will finally decide to go, but he remains steadfast, insisting that he wants to become part of your family. Faced with his refusal and the worsening weather, you are forced to reconsider your next move.

You are confronted with a difficult question: can you, in good conscience, allow a poor, starving man to freeze to death on your front porch? You reach out to the authorities once more, desperate for assistance, but they inform you that they are overwhelmed and unable to help. Responsibility falls back on you. Are you the type of person who can simply let him remain there, exposed to the cold, hungry, and in need of a bathroom?

You give him a blanket, but it's not enough—it's getting colder and he probably needs food and a bathroom. If he stays on your porch and freezes, can you live with that? Do you care about his well-being, or do you think it's his choice? If the authorities are so backed up and can’t be of assistance to you and you leave this man on your porch, and he dies there, what will you do? Bury him in your yard and never look back? Can you live with yourself knowing he died on your porch, and you could have helped him?
