Three months ago, I had a situation that made me choose sides between two of my friends. The situation was that I had to choose between two friends because of a fight they had about a girl. My friends are Ahmed and Mohammed. The problem started a month before they had the fight. It all started with a girl that they both met online in social networking website. The girl played them both but they didn’t know that she was talking to both of them. One day I was with Ahmed and we went to the desert as we were there his girlfriend told him that she needs a new blackberry and she wants it as a gift. My friend knew that she was playing him so he told her to go to hell and he will not get her a gift. So the girl was disappointed and angry because she thought that she could take at least a gift from him because once on his birthday she got him a watch. The girl called her second boyfriend and lied to him and told him that a boy called her and he threaten her if she won’t go out with him she’ll tell her father, and she gave him his number. When we decided to go home Mohammed called Ahmed he wants to talk to him. When Mohammed arrived he was shouting and they were about to fight. 5 minutes later I asked them what is the problem and I told Mohammed that she’s only a girl and she lied to you he didn’t believe neither me nor Ahmed so we stopped being friends from then.
I made that decision because I was very angry that he would believe a random girl not me. I still support my choice and what I did because it’s the least thing that he would do is to believe me and Ahmed not a random lying girl. The dilemma in that situation was that I either choose to be with Ahmed’s side or Mohammed. In 5 years I won’t regret the choice I made because it was the right one.
Referring to Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Development it was to do the right thing, and I think that I did the right thing because Ahmed didn’t do anything wrong to Mohammed.
