This is some trivia

I watched this movie this afternoon and it got me thinking about a rather old but not trivia matter, well, to me anyway. It is about some guy who had to save his son from being killed in an explosion that he knew before hand.

The situation: He got to know before hand that his son is about to be killed in an explosion, in a stadium, that killed 11000 others.

The situation 2: Some from-the-future dudes came up and said that the if he changed the outcome(everybody saved) then, the future would be changed too. From what I gather from the hints in the movie, the timeline is changed into a bad situation. The future dudes said that somebody who was supposed to be killed in that explosion lived on and invented an invention that would brought disaster to mankind.

The debate: How wouldyou know? What if somebody, who is supposed to die in the explosion, is not killed but later on married and has a grandchildren that invented time machine. Then, would you saved your son(or everybody else), or would you want a better future? Which one is higher in your moral-o-meter?

The moral: I rather live up the moment and save my son, and let the future people worry about their future.

"Fate is seems, is not without the sense of irony".
