You: Look, a murder is happening right in front of us.

N: Ya but how do we know whether it is right or wrong? No situation is black and white.

You: If we don& #39;t do something, someone is going to die. That& #39;s surely something we should prevent.

N: Probably. But who knows? Maybe there is more here than we can see.

You: Sure, but let& #39;s just stop the killing first, shall we?

N: See you& #39;re being reductive now. The situation could have twenty sides and thirty thousand nuances.

You: Reductive? What are you going on about? What& #39;s so complicated about this black and white situation?

N: I don& #39;t know. There could be something, right?

You: You& #39;re just looking for excuses to not do anything, aren& #39;t you?

N: Pretty much. I& #39;m wearing nice clothes. I don& #39;t want to get blood and dirt and smoke on them. So finding complications in black and white situations suits me just fine.

You: Then just say so, no?

N: If I just say so, I would look cruel and apathetic.

You: Because you are cruel and apathetic.

N: See you are being simplistic again. There may be complicated reasons behind my cruelty and apathy.

You: Are there?

N: Who knows? Life is infinitely complicated. Anything could be true.
