One plus one equals two.
This is a mathematical truth.
And there are truths between people as well.
The majority always outnumber the minority; this is the truth of the human species.
Thus, when the majority decided to carry out the judgment, the others had no way of stopping them. Rather, for their own preservation, they had to conform to the thoughts of the majority.
Irrelevant of reality, irrelevant of right or wrong.
Even if the girl had done nothing, she was still dragged by her hair to the place of judgment amidst the angry shouts of the people.
A circle of adults yelled at her in anger and wept in sorrow, accusing her of being a demon.
And others remained silent, turning their faces away, unwilling to look at her.
The girl did not understand what had happened; she could only look around in astonishment.
People did not kill the girl directly because their actions were not for personal desires but for the happiness of the many.
