Paradox #1
The moral conflict in the verse centers on the idea of wanting to warn others about the consequences of their actions, while the story implies that people often ignore guidance they already have. It highlights a tension between the desire to help others avoid a bad outcome and recognizing that people often need to see and learn for themselves.
