When Nobody Knows, But You Do…
Focus= The Unwitnessed Choice
A dispatch from the Bureau of Conscience
Imagine this.
You purchase an LPG cylinder from a local store. You need it delivered to your home, so you book a Yango rickshaw and ask the driver to transport it.
The driver accepts the ride, collects the cylinder, and starts his journey.
But he never arrives.
The call that sinks the heart
A little later, you receive a call from a local resident informing you about a terrible accident. An LPG cylinder has exploded, destroying a rickshaw and killing its driver.
As the person describes the incident, your heart sinks.
You realize that the cylinder was yours. The driver was the one you booked.
Suddenly, an ordinary delivery turns into a tragedy.
Nobody is looking for you
Now consider the circumstances.
Nobody knows you ordered that cylinder. The company does not know. The people at the accident site do not know. The victim’s family does not know. Nobody is looking for you, and nobody suspects your involvement.
You know that you never intended for this to happen. You did not know the cylinder would explode. You did not wish harm upon anyone. Perhaps it was simply an unfortunate accident, and perhaps you bear no legal responsibility for his death.
A man who is never coming back
But there is something you cannot ignore.
A man left his home that day to earn a living. Perhaps his family was waiting for him to return with groceries. Perhaps his children were expecting him. Perhaps someone was counting on the money he would bring home.
And now, he is never coming back.
You could remain silent. Nobody might ever discover your connection to the incident. You could carry on with your life, telling yourself that it was not your fault.
Or you could search for his family, reveal what happened, and offer them financial support.
The real question
But here is the real question:
If you were not responsible for his death, would you still feel responsible for the suffering of the family he left behind?
Would helping them be an act of compassion, a moral obligation, or simply an attempt to quiet your own conscience?
And if nobody would ever find out what happened, would you still do the right thing?
Perhaps the most difficult part of morality is not knowing what is right or wrong.
Perhaps it is discovering what you would do when there are no witnesses, no consequences, no recognition, and no one to judge you.
Only you know.
And God knows.
So, what would you do?
