A difficult question to say the least.

A hundred million dollars (roughly 20 billion naira) is really tempting, in reality, a part of me would go with it, and if I don't save it, a part of me will sink with it forever; every challenge afterwards will look me in the eye and mock me and my business sense will call me stupid and all other sorts of things.

But if I save the money and choose to lose my mum and wife, there is no amount of cash or assets that will save me from the guilt of choosing money over them. I might live to be a hundred years old and my money would be able to buy anything for me, save the feeling that I did the right thing at the right time, and on my dying bed, I'd regret deeply and probably curse the day I made that mistake that changed my life and robbed me of my soul and humanity forever.

So, the money is out of the question.

I am left with my wife and my mother.

My wife is a part of me, we are not the two sides of a coin, we are the coin; our sides expressing and revealing our personalities and ideals which can best be understood differently by whoever looks at us. My wife completes me, defines me and re-defines me as I go about my purpose. To live without her is to live without the core essence of my being; a man flayed, trying to come to terms with his newly found existence that hides within the shadows of his depression, heavily pregnant without meaning but a despair that can only be comforted his grief and the passage of time...

But my mother is my source, without her, I cannot exist; my spirit will have no body to tether to, since my body came from the workshop that is her womb. I was created in the realm before earth, but my spirit married my body in my mother's womb; it was our home, our school and our church where we met, got acquainted, bonded and manifested into this world. There won't be anything left for me to share with my wife, and my orientation of life and eternity would be baseless and shapeless without the accompanying lessons I received form her...

So here I stand, watching the two most important women sinking before my eyes, the third (money) I shall carelessly divorce for the sake that I might in a bid to save three (myself included) lose one (money)...

Whether I can even swim well or not the painter of the scenario does not say, but if the circumstance determines that I can only save one then I shall be forced to make a choice.

I will first choose my mother because I will never have another in this life or the next (no mammary glands or vaginas in heaven mind you), and I shall let my wife die (it may appear she died rich as she sinks with the money, but at this serious point of call, such witty, ironic humor shall recede into the deepest parts of my mind that a logical thinking pattern blessed with adrenaline might take over).

The problem with this choice (since I know my mother very well) is that she too will be unhappy with me (and herself) for the rest of her life. She will tell me once she wakes up that I should have saved my wife and left her to die, since she had lived her life well enough to know that I haven't begun to live mine. And if I know my mother very well she would jump right back into the water (even though she knows she can't swim) to save my wife, and I'd have to jump into the water all over again...

So, who would I save in truth? I'd save my wife.

I'd leave the money (even if i wanted to, a hundred million dollars {in gold or cash} would be too heavy for me to pull up to the surface fast enough to go back and save the women in my life [estimating its weight]), and I'd save my wife, knowing my mother would approve of such a thing (and like most high-rated Hollywood movies she'd say a touching cool line whilst sinking like "save your wife you stupid boy, and tell that your bald head father I knew about him and Cynthia), and after saving my wife I'd go down and save her as well, hoping that God would humour us all and mouth to mouth resuscitation would save the day...

So, in a nutshell,

I'd save my wife,

Then i'd try save my mum (at least I'd bring her body to the surface and try to call her spirit back into her body),

If I can save both, then I'd be so happy I'd go back down and look for that money!


But to save wealth at the expense of life, even Death herself might just mutter aloud "eleyi gidigan" (this one is strong!"


lol!

Money is out of it. I mean what's the essence of living in luxury when you will live the rest of your life in guilt?

Personally, I will save my wife in this kind of situation

Let's take a look at it from my view point

Firstly, your mother is meant to die before your wife. It's not a curse, that's the normal way it should happen. However, whether you love your wife more than your mom or not, the fact still remains the same that you are meant to lose your mother before your wife



Thirdly, the emotional trauma you will face when you lose your wife will be more than that of your parents.

Lastly, I think the reason why people are saying they will save their mother, is because they aren't married yet. As a man, you will definitely get to a stage in life when your wife will take the place of your mother.

To each his own opinion

Very true opinion bro.
Its true...u toomuch

lol!

Oga sir, just choose one na, while all this thought, the 3 woulda died.
Btw, u are bringing up factors to buster ur choice, the picture never showed the weight of ur wife as well as the money.
For all i know ur wife can be heavier than the $100million because we dont know how fat ur wife is
Besides, the $100million can be in cheque, credit card or bank draft we dont know.
And as regards ur mum jumping in to save ur wife and u jumping back too, bro. Yall will just die cos ur wife can also do d same for ur mum but the money can never jump after any of them.
Lol

MrsPhyno:
