Ethical dilemma I am happy that, thinking of the ethical dilemma I faced, the idea did not come to me immediately. I think this means that the decisions I made, were not troubled by any scruples. It does not so much matter whether I was right or wrong, but what is more important, is that my soul agrees with all my decisions. I want to describe very banal personal situation that I have faced. It is related to me and my good friend in the past. For a while, we were very close friends. We shared many secrets with each other, discussed everything what happened in our lives. This went on for almost a few years, until my friend met a guy, and, as it usually happens, fell in love with him and "lost her head" in that love. At that time I was also keen on my own relationships, so our friendship was not harmed and it continued. The only thing that darkened that time, was the fact that I did not really like my friend’s boyfriend. I usually find it easy enough to get on well with people, but that case was an exception. I almost could not be in the same room with that person for over an hour. The most interesting thing is that I could not explain why. I just did not like him at some intuitive level. But time has put everything into its places. After half a year, or maybe a year, I realized why I did not like that man. First, from different people, I learned that that guy was a liar and a deceiver. Then I made sure by myself, seeing once as he kissed another girl. I opened a lot of unpleasant facts which I do not even want to remember now. So I faced one of the first ethical problems in my life. I have long thought about the situation, and had to think of it by myself, because I did not dare to tell anyone about that situation. There is one principle in my life that I still follow: it is better not to know some things. And one more thing: it is wrong to interfere in other people’s relationships, because you will always be guilty of their problems. Though, probably, the main thing that guided me then was the fear of losing a friend. In general, it is clear, that I have decided to keep my knowledge to myself. What were the consequences of my decision? I can say that they were sad, but quite predictable. I cannot communicate with my friend as I did before, knowing all the things which I have already mentioned. But, in any case, we were able to maintain something like warm relationships.
