Lives are too serious to ignore.

     Being selfish is one thing, but when selfishness gets in the way of saving peoples' lives, it has gone too far. Captain Stanley Lord of the Californian ship is a prime example. Less than nineteen miles away from the horrid sinking of the Titanic, he saw distress signals coming from the ship. As flares rose up into the dark, starlit sky he willingly turned his head and continued sailing across the sea. Whether it was out of selfishness or not, I do believe it was a selfish act. No harm would have been done if he had simply turned his ship and rescued helpess passengers of the Titanic. More good would have been done than harm. Most acts of selfishness can be forgiven, but some effect the lives of people. These acts should not be forgiven. If anyone has the opportunity to be a good Christian and save someone's life, it should be taken whether or not it interferes with anything. I consider that almost murder.
