[Ethan is standing in the shade beneath some trees, just barely into the forest. Having been here for a month, he's relatively relaxed, but his axe is still leaned against the tree beside him just in case. He's just closing his journal after writing just the following question:]

How important is family to you?

Very.

[Difficult to ask, but...]

More important than doing what's right?

Depends. If the family member is the one doing 'wrong', such as murdering other folks, than no.

If they're a victim though of a societal expectation, especially one they can't help, like, say, being of a disapproved religion? Then stick with your family.

I agree.

What if someone from your family does something wrong, but not because they're a bad person, though? It's definitely not right to do nothing, but... they're still your family.

I'd talk to them first and find out why they did it before I made any judgments. 'Good' and 'bad' may be black and white in theory, but rarely so in reality.

And if you didn't have the chance to talk to them? People aren't black and white, but their actions can be.

I'd still try and figure out why they did it first before anything. Ask other people who were around, see what was going on, see if anything had changed for the person before they did what they did. Actions are the result of a lot of different factors, most of which you won't know about just by looking at them at face value. And if they're doing something totally out of character, then it's worth it to stop and take another look. Even if you can't do anything for them...if it's some sort of external force that made them act, maybe you can save someone else from it.

I know why he did it, but... it doesn't justify it. He's out of control, and it's partially my fault. It's my responsibility to help stop him.

[Voice] derek_bliss May 17 2010, 20:57:18 UTC

Then it sounds like you've got your answer already.
