Quote:Here's the situation:
It's pooring cold nasty rain. You drive up in your car (which only has two seats) next to an uncovered bus stop. Peering out your window into the horrible scene outside, you see three people waiting for a bus.
It turns out that one is your best friend, one is the most beatiful woman you've ever seen, and one is a poor old lady who looks to be in really bad shape due to the rain, cold and what-not.
Unknown to them, but known to you, the bus they are waiting for will be greatly delayed because you just passed it a few miles back and it was broken down.
You have a two-seater. What do you do?
and to answer Gooch's question: In my opinion the goal and purpose of life is to be happy.
If the slow person is truly happy (not just the imbecilic ignorant happy) but truly fulfilled with his small dreams and easy life, then I'd rather be him, than some brooding genious that gets frustrated at the idiocy of others.
