I have trouble seeing it this way. The money spent running the train could save or improve many other lives instead. It&#x27;s heartwarming and all, but consider the other people who are being left to die or suffer malnutrition or some other malady that could have been fixed with the resources used to get this girl to and from school.<p>It could be argued that the hope and inspiration and good feels justify it as a utilitarian decision, or that some portion of the world&#x27;s energy should be diverted to these sorts of situations anyway - like some sort of lottery - or justified on non-utilitarian grounds. But I can&#x27;t help but see it as an example of how major global problems continue because humans can&#x27;t prioritize their caring towards those that need it the most.
