It is often hardest to do the tough moral option when dealing with your favorite child, relatives, close friends and those friendly to you, but you must rise to the occasion, and punish them if they have it coming.
On the other hand, if someone is a enemy, you must not mete out unjust extra punishment against them, because you loathe them. That would be immoral, a miscarriage of justice.
And if they deserve praise, rewards or promotion, you cannot withhold their meritorious gain, because you despise them.
Exalt who deserves exalting, and humble who deserves humbling, whether friend or foe. That is the moral high ground occupied by friend, parent, judge, cop and boss.
