You are Odysseus, returning home from the Trojan War with your crew. Your wife, Penelope, son, Telemachus, and kingdom await you in Ithaca. You have arrived at the island of the Lotus-Eaters, where eating the lotus makes people completely content and removes their desire to leave. You know that continuing the journey home will be extremely dangerous and could result in the death of you or your crew. However, staying on the island would allow your crew to live peacefully and safely.
For the purposes of this debate, you may not use extraneous knowledge from the Odyssey book or movie.
