problems in quantification

If you believe it is wrong to pick up sticks on Sunday, but you also believe it is wrong to have an unkempt yard and the clutter of sticks has been caused by the storm early Sunday Morning.

As you are out walking you see an old cabin with an untidy yard strewn with sticks, and the old widow there is blind, and you want to clean up her yard, but, really it is not your yard, so you decide that it is wrong or mathmatically 2 is better than 1. 1 is the messy yard, and 2 is not working. It is reasonable there for to walk on by because 2 is of more worth. Then a son offers you money to pick up the sticks. This has increased tge value of picking up the sticks, so we add one making 2 = 2. Using purely scientific reasoning now neither option is,truly better something must be done. You realize that what you choose will form who you become. And you believe that serving others always superceedes a rule, and you want to be someone who helps others, so you decide to pick up the sticks. Another sees you doing this and calls for a council to decide your fate. It is determined that you should be stoned for breaking a commandment, which thing you believed was just, but something seems wrong. You argue that you would not have done it but you were paid to do it. The son is outraged and runs home never paying you. You then say, "Well, I would have done it anyway." And this condemns you by the council because even if you had never acted, you have a disobedient heart. So all of that trying to reason things out by assigning value would never save you anyway.
