The Torah then continues: \u201cAfter this, the word of God came to Abram in a vision. He said, <em>\u2018<\/em><\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not be afraid<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Abram, I am your shield. Your reward will be very great\u2019\u201d (Genesis 15: 1). The question is obvious: of what was Abraham afraid? He had just been victorious in battle. He had no cause for fear. The Midrash answers: Abraham was filled with misgiving, thinking to himself, Maybe there was a righteous or God-fearing man among those troops which I slew (Bereishit Rabbah, 44:4).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A moral dilemma arises in cases of conflict between right and right, or between wrong and wrong. Life presents us with many such decisions. There are no easy answers in such cases. If there were, they would not be dilemmas. It is one of the tests of a moral code that it does not present moral choices as easier than they are. There are moral dilemmas. They are a fact of the moral life. There are times when a good human being, even if he or she does the right thing, will still experience (not <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">remorse<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> but) <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">regret<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
