9 Decision making and action The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it. (Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam verse 51 11th or 12th century) 03/06/2017 PracticalPhilsophyBerkshire.org 9

11 Decision making and action Greek tragedy has given us some of the most strange, dark and brutal stories of all time. There are tales of murder, vengeance, and incest, of insanity and mutilation.... These are bloody and violent stories but they are much more than some sort of weird form of entertainment for the ancient Greeks. They spoke to the dark side of humanity and to the harsh and unpredictable nature of life itself. And here in the Greek theatre, these stories did something more than that as well. They were lessons. They were challenges. My favourite line in Greek tragedy is in Aeschylus Libation Bearers and it s when Orestes is about to get his revenge. He s there knife in hand, about to kill his mother and he panics and asks the question ti draso? What shall I do? That is the key question of tragedy. Tragedy didn t just tell a nasty story and let the audience walk away. No! It asked them to respond, it challenged them. What would 03/06/2017 PracticalPhilsophyBerkshire.org 11 they do if they were caught in such an impossible situation?
12 Decision making and action Being a single US soldier, would you choose to stay with your Vietnamese love and be captured, or leave Vietnam and her behind And would it have been different if you knew that she was pregnant And what would you do if, 6 years later, now happily married in America, you discovered that you had an illegitimate child in Vietnam And what would you do as the wife if you discovered that your husband had an illegitimate child from before you met him And what would you do if you were the mother of the illegitimate child and there was a possibility if you gave him up of him having the opportunity to live in America 03/06/2017 PracticalPhilsophyBerkshire.org 12
13 Right action Characteristics of a wise person: They act from knowledge not ignorance They are open not closed They are compassionate and caring They listen Their advice and guidance is relevant and timely They do not criticise or cause harm They see the bigger picture They are not selfish 03/06/2017 PracticalPhilsophyBerkshire.org 13
