Lost part 10: Pushing the button

So there are two people. Person A wants to push a button. He has no proof that pushing the button will provide him any safety or sanctuary. He does have faith however, that pushing the button is the right thing to do. His faith gives him a sense of peace in an otherwise harsh unfair world.

Person B pushed the button for a long time. At some point his faith in the button slipped. He lost the sense of comfort that pushing the button provided.

What I find irrational is that Person B feels he has the right to stop Person A from pushing the button. He is hostile to Person A's believe. He would destroy the button if he possibly could.

I don't want to push the Button, but I think it is wrong to attack Person A's right to push the button. Now if Person A attacks me... then all bets are off.
