“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” -Edmund Burke
But, what if that evil lies in your own brother? Then what? How do you reconcile your obligation to uphold the law with your loyalty to your family? What if that family is laced with prejudice? What if “saving face” for the family feels like a betrayal of your moral compass? How do you explain the complexities of culture and societal norms to a child? How do you do what is right, when it would be easier to just look the other way? How do some people choose to see others as “less than” instead of equal? Will the means justify the end? At what cost? Is there any way there can be a “happily-ever-after” ending here?
