There are 2 persons, person A and person B. both are best friends. They are in their late 20s. They are really smart and highly educated. They have decent jobs with good salaries.
They like to live life at the fullest, they want to enjoy everything. They like super crazy music parties and having exotic beautiful girlfriends. They want to travel the entire world and feel the different cultures. They want to attend all famous party-festivals of the world. They like clubs and alcohol. They like scuba-diving, skiing and sky diving and have all kinds of fun possible out there.
However they happen to meet a military man. The military guy says that he was just like them but he felt empty somewhere, he was feeling like he wasn’t giving enough back to the society. So he sacrificed his fun oriented goals and his personal life to join military. Now he does not have any time to have fun because of the nature of his job, he can’t have any kind of fun but he is very happy that he is dedicating his life for his society/country.
Now person A feels guilty that he should not have all this fun while his country is always in need of public services. So he leaves his high paying job, sacrifices his personal goals and joins military for a much lower salary. Now he can barely meet his family twice a year.
Person B thinks that his personal goals are more important for him than simply joining public services. He continues to have his job and keeps having fun. Enjoys with his family. He thinks he doesn’t break and government rules and pays taxes regularly, that’s enough.
Which one are you? Person A or person B? What would you do knowing that you can serve your country more by joining public services? Would you feel a little guilty if you are person B knowing that you are just having fun but you aren’t giving back enough to your country/society?
