TODAY’S QUESTION:
This is an old Interview Question from TJ.
A friend confides to you that he has committed a particular crime and you promise never to tell. Discovering that an innocent person has been accused of the crime, you plead with your friend to give himself up. He refuses and reminds you of your promise. What should you do? In general, under what conditions should promises be broken?  Click Below for my answer!

I feel that age and maturity plays a big role in the answer to this question. 

When I was younger and the smartest, most indestructible person in the world (according to me), I would have stood by my friend, come hell or high water, no matter who took the rap for it in the end.  That’s what friends do.

Now that I am older, I would not want someone innocent to pay for someone else’s wrongdoing.  I guess now I always have a little voice that says “What if it was one of my kids?” Would I want Kaiden to take the rap for someone else?  HELL NO!  I consider myself a very good friend, and I am pretty sure that those who are friends with me feel the same way.  I am extremely loyal and would do anything for a friend.  But if it crossed the line, I would break a promise to save someone innocent from being punished.  I would not flat out tell, until it was a necessity, but when it became necessity, I would.  Mainly because it’s just the right thing to do and I DO know the difference between right and wrong.
