Ethics

 

            Growing up with one brother and one sister, both older, I really had a lot of chances to interact with them and learn whatever I could from their experience. My sister is about ten years older, which made her not readily available at times. My brother on the other hand is only two years older. He and I were together all the time in adolescence.
             Through our years of causing trouble and terrorizing other sets of brothers, my brother and I never had a bond like you would expect young brothers to form. I think we were more or less two individuals doing as we pleased and the other just happened to be there. .
             I remember several instances when Justus would seemingly put me in harms way, or take advantage of my nieveness. It always seemed like he had it out for me. The first such instance I can remember was when we were attending the YMCA's after school program. During an open-swim session my once trust worthy brother held my legs above water making it difficult to keep my head above the water as well. After what seemed like a long struggle, my arms became tired and I started to drown. As I choked on the water I could hear him laughing louder and louder, all the while his grip got tighter. He must have noticed that I wasn't trying to fight anymore and feared that he was going to kill me, because he let me go as I was passing out. I was only unconscious for a few moments and regained consciousness expelling the water from my lungs. I wanted to kill my brother after that. .
             Another such instance occurred not long after the swimming. My dad's played softball since I can remember. My brother and I would go with him and watch him when we were younger as well as play on the nearby playground. We were playing with some other kids, bullying them like we used to. I saw five of my brother's friends coming over so he and I proceeded to let the kids go and talk to his friends. For some reason my brother told them to "get me" and they did.
