Going against it

When you meet with some sort of situation where you have to go against your moral, your own belief, you sometimes hope that those involved will stand next to you to help make the decision. Should you go against your moral just for the sake of saving another person, which benefits yourself at the same time... or should you just let it be since that was how it was in the first place and should be?

I held on. I couldn't do it though my hands reacted the other way round. No one was there, and even if there was, it was of no help either. Decision-making, how weak one becomes when facing it.
