I have concern for the mental wellbeing of the individual that could conjure option 2.
Option 3 is the stuff of nightmares as well.Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket? -

None of the above.
Better to live poor with principles, than rich with no scruples.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
