Sacrifice.

If you're the last man on earth and you're leave with an elephant and a best friend. WHO WILL YOU KILL FIRST?

1. Kill the elephant and live happily ever after with best friend.
2. Kill elephant first, then kill best friend.
3. Kill best friend first, then kill elephant.
4. I'll sacrifice myself.

My lecturer asked my classmate and I somewhere earlier this semester. I personally picked the third one. I will kill the elephant if only i got the means.

I'm sure most people will pick the first one and some self-indulgence people will pick the last one. But in reality, how many people are willing to sacrifice themselves for others? Even when we live in a peaceful life like this, there's already a term called 'dog eat dog'.

The given question is basically an outliers possibilities which purposely to tackle oneself capabilities of survival. And I don't think the last option is possible. Let's face it, how pure is your heart?

Lastly, have you seen Battle Royale? This movie portrayed exactly how people will react in their time of desperation. Forget about the hero who does the first and last crap. And if I've given the chance, most probably I still didn't dare to do the same especially the last crap. Sacrifice is a big word to fill a man.
