some people have real problems

on general hospital luke accidentally killed his son's adopted son,
jason's bio-son that he gave up (tragically) to keep safe,
and jason's only reason for not killing luke in vengence
was to protect michael (who has already been to prison once)
because jason is the true father to michael and doesn't want to set a bad example
even though the boy is really his nephew and was adopted by sonny
who barely has time for him these days because of his new wife
and her baby son that she thought had died but who just returned
in the arms of his duplicitous but well-intentioned grandmother...

and still our real lives seem much more complicated -
if you heard the real stories you would not believe them.
