I've been wracking my brain to come up with a realistic scenario where I wouldn't feel bad about engaging in this sort of behavior. The only thing I could come up with was buying a new car.
You would feel bad about distracting wolves?
Literal or metaphorical?
I would feel bad about using manipulation on people. But if someone's life was at stake, I would feel much worse if I could have done something and they died. I just don't ever expect to find myself in that situation.
I meant literally. The purpose of the wolf example was to provide a scenario where you wouldn't feel bad about this sort of behavior.
