ENTRY DILEMMA
HONESTY · THE WALLET
You find a wallet on an empty street. It contains $500 in cash, a drivers license, two family photos, and a handwritten note that says "emergency money." There are no witnesses. The address on the license is a 20 minute drive away. What do you do — and walk me through exactly why?
I would return the wallet. The note saying emergency money makes clear this matters deeply to someone. I would drive to the address on the license and return it in person. The is not mine regardless of whether anyone is watching. The right action does not change based on the presence of witnesses.
