Having the ability to care about strangers or not having it, says everything about a person.
You can care about strangers without having to resort to losing another life you care about.
Humans mostly outlive their dogs. I love my dogs but they probably can't change the world the way one human can. A human child is filled with endless possibilities to inspire, ignite and create positive change for the world.
Therefore, while losing a dear pet is heartbreaking, knowing that the child I saved could become someone that creates a world where no child or pet ever burns to death again, makes that decision the right one for everyone.
Ita not the right choice for everyone. Theres also a chance that child destroys the world. Probably burns it because his parents died in a fire. The child could change the world and make it better or worse. But that wasnt my original point. All I was saying is just because you value the life of a pet that you love as child over a random child doesnt mean you dont care about strangers. It means you just value the life of your pet that you unconditionally love over a random baby...
Choosing a pet over a person, even a stranger, is dark choice. ---
