I did the right thing.
No matter what Loker thinks
that woman and her children
needed help, not to be punished
for their captors beliefs. Do
I wish there could have been
a better way, a different way
to get them out? Yes.
I don't regret that decision,
though Eli backed me up,
put his faith in me, he
still doesn't understand.
Oh Eli, with his completely
black and white view of
the world. It's gotten him
in trouble before and it will
again. One day he'll learn
that nothing in the world
is black and white; everything
is a shade of gray. A white lie
is still a lie no matter how
you justify it. A lie is a lie is
a lie. That doesn't mean we
condemn the liar outright.
What if the lie was to protect
someone? Lying selflessly for
the good of someone else. Eli
likes to question mine and Cal's
decisions thinking he could make
a better one. One day, he'll need
to make a big decision, a decision
that not only affects him but many
other people and then he'll see.
Everything is gray.
