What Is Right, and What Is Wrong

Saving someone from drowning is morally right— whether it’s done out of duty or with hope for a reward. But betraying a friend who trusted you, even if it’s to help someone else who helped you more, is still a wrongdoing.

If saving a life is right, then those who devoted themselves to reclaiming a stolen homeland did something not just right, but noble. If betraying a friend is a sin, then betraying your country is a grave offense against your people. History has shown us both paths— and from them, we’ve learned powerful lessons.
