Okay, so yet again I was watching
“Medium” and found an issue to write about. In this particular
episode the pyschic has a dream that a plane it going to crash, but
then it doesn't because the pilot has the skill to know to turn the
plane off and then back on really fast to save everyone. That might
not be possible in life, but this is fictional. Anyway, this pilot
who will someday in the futur save this plane loses his wife, she's
murdered. And through the course of the show you find out it was him.
Now then, this is where it gets tricky. The psychic has the same
dream, different pilot because the other one is in jail, and the
plane crashes, everyone dies. So is it it alright to let a criminal
escape because he is supposed to do great things, or put them in jail
where they belong for their crime? It was quite the conundrum. I was
trying to think about how I would react, and I think would have let
him go and then put him in jail years down the road after he had done
his destined duty. Course that's bending the law, and is that okay in
some situtations? And yes I understand that the crash could very well
never happen, it's just a dream. Still one can only ask what if?
