Reply #37: He was doing something by taking the picture.

Although it is a good question. It goes to how far you think in the future about what is best.

By taking the picture, and speaking about it now, his actions may help even more, then just helping that child. Although that same logic requires thoughts on what the future will be, that leads to ends justifying means mistakes.

It is a question on when detachment in the moment can be caused by thoughts of better results.

Maybe he talks about it now, so that the greater good he was thinking of in that moment will not be in vain.






On a side note, was it because it was graphic, or because it did not fit a narrative, that it was pulled from CNN?
