Morality is the principle concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior. Characters in Safely Home live within moral constraints, such as not believing in Yesu.

Morality is seen because they suffer from consequence for doing this illegal act, but Quan says, “You do not understand God’s ability to use suffering for higher purposes”
