I get it...that’s why I led with what I did...too many fine lines can easily be crossed.
I was just curious if there were any “Q” mentions and it was interesting to find what I found.
I didn’t look for context and that’s important.
I wasn’t faulting you - just the whole “debate” got so out of hand...
The important thing to me is that some people have actually chosen evil. They don’t think they’re doing good for others, they know they’re using others as livestock, or as DH put it today, as “raw materials”. Normal decent people, even though with human frailties, Maybe some bad habits, sometimes misbehavin’ in one way or another, do not want to use others for their own benefit, at the cost of the others’ well being, health, lives, etc.
Lust for power and living to gratify the base passions no matter what the cost for others means choosing evil.
Often decent people have a hard time grasping this; they think “Oh, those (described above) are misguided, don’t see the whole picture, don’t realize the results, actually think they’re helping” etc. Not true. They chose evil, they like evil, and others’ suffering is just part of the whole package, or worse of all, the others’ suffering is part of the fun to them.
