__ Four-way test __  **The four-way test states four simple questions. One of the questions ‍‍is; Is it FAIR? ‍‍ If ‍‍‍I am making a major decision between two things, it won’t be fair to the other. So, I think that the four-way test is unfair itself.** ‍‍‍  **I was in a tough situation a few months ago. I had the choice between two horses to lease and ride for a few years. The four-way test asks; Is it the TRUTH? And; Is it FAIR? If I choose one of those to follow, the other will be countered. Is it fair? Is not choosing one of the horses the fair? No, but it is the truth. If I follow the fair rule, it won’t be the truth. If I am fair and choose both horses, it won’t be fair for my parents to have to pay all that money. If I choose neither, which would be fair and even, I‍‍‍ won’t ‍‍‍have a horse, and that will not be fair to me.**  **With the decision following the four way test, let’s say I choose both horses. ‍‍‍‍‍‍I go to the owner and say I want your horse because it is only fair if I choose both. The owner will not want their horse going to a person because it has to. ‍‍‍‍‍‍ It will not be building better relationship.‍ The four-way test states; Will it buy GOOD WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIP.** ‍  **The four-way test doesn’t just go with two choices. If there are five hundred families that desperately need food in Africa, but I only have barely enough to feed four hundred, what will I do? If I follow the four-way test, I have to be fair.‍‍‍‍‍ I just won’t give anything to the four hundred families. ‍‍‍‍‍So, instead of saving four hundred families, I wouldn’t be saving any. But, if I do give food to the four hundred families, I would be saving a lot of people. Will it build better friendship? ‍‍‍‍You may lose relationships with one hundred families, but you will gain it with four hundred families. ‍‍‍‍**

 **Overall, I do not think that the four-way test is beneficial, or fair. It will not be useful in decision making. ‍‍‍It will not help the starving people in Africa ‍‍‍ by giving them food. It won’t help me, or others, make decisions.**
