Question
Mr. Abrams, What would you think of a man who had the absolute ability and opportunity to save the ones he truly loves from a house that was burning down, but all he did was go to the door of the house and call out to them, "if you will just come to me I will save you." I would say the man did not truly love those inside. What's your opinion about such a man.
Thanks W.A. Foote
Hi William,
Thank you for your questions, even thought I suppect this may be a trick question. I think there is no question, that of course if a person could help having the ability and means he morally should help if the sitution was that simple. Maybe you could share with me the point you wish to make.
