The One Question That Shocked Me
I asked a simple question: “If you could save only one — your mother or your wife — who would you choose?” The answer I got hit harder than I expected.
Question: If there’s one situation — one chance — where you can save only one life, your mom or your wife, who do you choose?
Answer (that shocked me): “I would choose my mother.”
She gave life, raised me when I was helpless, and built the person I became. A wife is a partner I chose, but a mother is the reason I exist to make that choice at all.
Why it hits so hard
It’s a collision between past and future — origin and promise. Saving your mother can feel like honoring a sacred debt; saving your wife can feel like protecting your present and future. There’s no easy side.
Some say, “A man’s mother is his past, but his wife is his future.” Others say, “You can find another partner, but never another mother.”
Whichever choice someone makes, it’s not about loving one more and the other less — it’s about who we are in a single, impossible moment.
