Be honest

[NOBLE]

Pretty much what Hastur was saying is what I was thinking at first. I thought if I opted to save a loved one, it could only be for personal and selfish reasons whereas being the richest man in the world can afford me the opportunity to help so many more people, including generations of my loved ones yet to come.
However, I think there's an even deeper question hidden within this: which do we value more? A single life, or the increase in the quality of life for many people? Money cannot create life, neither can it buy happiness. To help people through philanthropy through feeding, housing and educating them will increase their quality of life but it will not necessarily make them happy. If we brought back a loved one, there's no telling what their quality of life would be either and they are bound to eventually die again....but at least they'll have LIFE. I say LIFE is worth more than all the money in the world, and not just the life of my loved one. Just life in general. It's something we cannot make (without using some other life), whereas anything money can buy is something we can make.
