Okay, I happen to drive by on your street late at night, simply to find your address, but not to call or bother you at that late hour.
Incredibly, I see that your house is on fire. No one else seems to notice; no alarms are going off and no fire department at the scene.
I sit in my car, wondering if I should disturb you with such information. You might not believe me if I tell you that your house is on fire; you might be angry and hateful, and say that I am hateful.
As I watch the fire consume your house, and wonder what I should do, I see an escape ladder come out of a bedroom window and family members half climb half fall down. The FD arrives and fights the fire.
As I visit you in hospital, and learn that one of your children died from the fire, and you were badly burned, you discover that I, your friend, sat outside for over half an hour with full knowledge of the danger, but never tried to warn you.
Do you still consider me to be your friend?
