A  man is sitting in a psychiatrists office, being released from an insane asylum.

"So...do you feel better Nathaniel?" The psychiatrist asked calmly with a smile on her face.

Three years ago, he and three friends were mountain climbing, when an accident left them all suspended on one rope that was fraying. Being the closest to the top, the man chose to cut the rope to save himself and dropped the other three to their death.

"....I know I was wrong...Debra." He looked at Debra."...but."

"But what Nathaniel...?" Debra asked holding a note pad.

"but I had to make that choice I did if I wanted to survive...." He finished his sentence.

"Yes,I do know that while your actions were almost understandable,they resulted in death, some that is never acceptable." Debra reminded nathaniel. This causes Nathaniel to become upset and more insistent that other people in the same situation would make the same choices as he did.
