Why this dilemma matters
Moral dilemmas like this expose a gap between what feels principled and what feels workable. Choosing “Come forward. You owe them that, even now” prioritises consistency with one rule; choosing “Stay silent. It would destroy everything you've built — and change nothing for them” gives more weight to attention to specific consequences.
Worth asking yourself
- Which value should matter more here?
- Would you defend this choice to someone affected by it?
