Features: When someone uses a gun to get what they want, how should you stop them? If they want something, give it to them, and they will be overjoyed—and even more demanding, escalating further. If you don’t give them what they want, they may get angry—perhaps even kill you. It’s hard to say what to do in such a situation. In this story, the one facing this dilemma is the Prime Minister, a government leader. But the Prime Minister is also an ordinary person like us—has a family, has children. If someone points a gun at your family, how can you keep your mind clear? What should you do? You follow others’ advice, engage in dialogue with the hijacker, find out what they really want, do your best to keep everyone calm, and take action gradually. But terrorists won’t wait for you. Eventually, you’ll have to decide what to do.
