It's worded as if it's the one and only option. It is not people. It's a surprise to me, that everytime I narrate a couple of personal stories where I chose not to get further involved as I was deeply interested, however the situ smelled a "femme fatal execution", you know, the kind where you get wrapped into the female's web not to ever escape, and people act "you're wrong, you had to live it". Guess what. No.
