My point is, all these discussions about good and evil, where do they ever lead? A man is dead, and three children were orphaned. No amount of moral judgment and labeling will change that. Instead, we should ask ourselves what factors led to this situation and then work on improving those. Cause and effect, that’s all that matters.

Our minds shape reality ... that is why superstitious peasants burn witches, jealous lovers murder their beloved, and lonely veterans put nooses around their necks.

Once the mind commits to a story, the facts become secondary. Truth bows to bias.

If a middle-class merchant buys his wife some overpriced silk dress he has been saving toward rather than saving a beggar from starvation, why is that any less ‘evil’ than what the Great Dreamers do?
