consider the source ~ two tales of ambiguity

1.

A woman walks into a grocery store with three small children
in tow, all three are having a bad day,
crying or throwing temper tantrums,
she screams at them,
her hand lifts to hit...
you are a witness, what do you do?

however, now you know that she found out earlier in
the day her mother is dying of cancer and her husband
is having an affair...

perhaps her children sense it...

....consider the source.

2.


the phone rings in the execution chamber... the governor
is calling... three possible scenarios play out...

it's a last-minute reprieve... he has been a model inmate,
earned a degree and now speaks to youngsters at risk,
in another scene,
the law plays out...an eye for an eye...full restitution,
the poison is injected and after a few
convulsions, he's declared dead
yet in another reality, he's granted a reprieve, taken off death
row, moved into another prison, escapes, and kills two more
innocent bystanders.

....consider the source.


How do we know we are doing the right thing? We don't.

Consider the source. And so it goes.
