Remember that the [[mature]] [[civilization]] has a [[duty]] to uphold its civilization. You have, as a civilization, come far from the days, as you discussed earlier, of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannibalism cannibalism]. Granted your government has a long way to go before we can truly say that it is ruled by the [[Most Highs]] in all regards, but as a [[citizen]] of the realm, it is your duty and your responsibility and your privilege to uphold your [[society]].

As an individual you may have [[feelings]] -- [[compassion]], [[passion]]s and so forth -- but these are a [[personal]] matter. In the [[context]] in which you serve, you are representing your [[government]], your people, your civilization as it has evolved, as you [[hope]] to continue to evolve to maintain [[peace]] and order for all. The results of your decision are then consolidated with the decisions of your peers and the results will be presented to the [[judge]] who will follow the [[law]] as it also is presented to him.

The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_peoples_of_the_Americas Native Americans] honor the Grandfather, the Grandmother. The Chinese also revere the elderly; their women are respected and not turned out to pasture. Your [[society]]'s custom of disregarding the strengths of the elderly is a disgrace. The elders have seen, witnessed, suffered, endured, taught more than the average mind can hold, and so it is a [[privilege]] to honor Hester.
