Envelope #1

A candle flickers. Its flame dances with life… a life more delicate then the breath of life in a man. The astrological heavens reinforce the candle's importance. A blood-red moon joins Venus in the third quadrant, linking this fragile flame with the life of a man. In a remote village of northern China, a mandarin, a village elder, doesn't even dream that his life will cease if the candle flame is snuffed out. If you blow out the flame, he dies.

But now the heavens change a bit. Jupiter comes into the fourth quadrant in direct relationship to the moon and Venus. The mandarin's life is still linked with the candle flame, but so is something else. If the candle flame is extinguished, earth will have 200 years of peace and prosperity. Do you blow out the candle and bring peace and prosperity to the world at the cost of the mandarin's life?
If yes, go to Envelope #2. If no, go to Envelope #3

Food for thought...

What is an appropriate price for peace?     Is the life of one old man too much?    If you do not blow out the candle, how many people will die in war or from hunger?
