WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACK

Read this nice story in todays Metro Plus.

"A train was coming into a railway station. The train was supposed to take track one when the driver of the train noticed that there were 20 children playing on it. He decided to take track two, but unfortunately there were children on that track too - but only two of them. He decided to take track two - the one with two children, his logic being that it was better to kill two children than 20. So, the children who had taken care that they were not on the track on which the train would come, paid the ultimate price."

Actually have heard this story earlier also a lot of times, but have not been able to find the exact source of this story. Wonder if this is true.

I think that its encouraging the law breakers.. it suggest that if u break the law then do it in the large group .. the small group of right ppl does not matter.

thinking positively it suggest that we should collectively do the right things.. lil diff message
