After the shocking discovery of a man believed to have traveled abroad but instead found locked in a shed by his own family for five years, social media erupted with reactions. Among them, one controversial comment read: “A man’s enemies are of his own household.” While this biblical phrase may highlight betrayal from those closest to us, using it here oversimplifies the tragedy. The focus should be on justice for the victim and accountability for those responsible. Reducing such cruelty to a proverb strips away the gravity of the man’s suffering and risks normalizing such inhumane acts.
