Good people in impossible situations.

Intelligence is a anomaly. One might think it would simplify life, but it seldom does.

We are not only intelligent creatures we are also emotional ones and we feed both sides of our beliefs.

In fact, the more intelligent we are the easier it becomes to find reason in unreasonable things.

Whole cultures, whole lifestyles, whole lives can be built around something that appears to be total nonsense to others.

Who is right and who is wrong becomes a moot point because if the belief is big enough change is impossible.  Then the choices become heart rendingly difficult.

Perhaps even impossible.

Is it possible to overlook things when they appear to threaten the very being of those you love?

From both sides?
