Do Or Die

Do or Die? I am perplexed unable to decide what to do? Either to spare a traitor's life or to kill him what if the traitor is my own son or brother? I am perplexed unable to decide what to do what to do if the traitor in concert with his accomplices gets his hands on my life what if he kills me while i indecisively sit and think then suddenly comes to my mind how the great Mughals dealt with such problems the gentler Mughal monarchs would catch their inimical brothers who were after their lives so that they could grab the Throne and come to power They would arrest them and blind them by bringing the fiery glow of red hot burning rods opposite their wide open eyes and then throw them in dungeons to rot the other more harsh Mughal Emperors would fight against such traitors and enemies and kill them in the battle grounds But I am not a Mughal King nor a kin of the blue blood yet I am am in similar situation in a place where law and justice bows to the strong and corrupt So what should I do? Kill or get killed by the greedy enemy none else but my own flesh and blood I am simply perplexed unable to decide which course i should adopt to save my neck from imminant risk of being swiped while i think.
