Points of view...

A pious man explained to his followers: "It is evil to take lives and nobel to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred lives. I drop my net in the lake and scoop out a hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, where they flop and twirl. 'Don't be scared', I tell those fishes... 'I'm saving you from drawning.'
Soon enough, the fishes grow calm and lie still. Yet, sad to say, I am always too late. The fishes expire, and because it is evil to waste anything, I take those dead fishes to the market and I sell them for a good price.
With the money I receive, I buy more nets to I can save more fishes."
