Many a times people have to fight between personal achievements and a sympathetic heart. Whether to help others or to further self-interest, human mind has always been confused. Some people tend to help others leaving aside their personal gains while others tend to take advantage of such situations to earn what they truly deserve.

This sad tale of a climber shows us a new side to our moral standards.
