Now, suppose our father gave his blessing and maybe even loaned my brother some money for this venture, since he is family after all; if my brother ultimately went bankrupt doing this, it wouldn't affect me in the least. Heck, I could be making socks or widgets or something, and may not be concerned at all about my brother's industry, much less my brother's industry in South Asia.
