gmtom,

I get what you’re saying, but I think this idea of anything but absolute good is evil is unproductive, and doesn’t mesh well with the reality we live in.

Like my country has a famous suicide spot and a famous Old man that ha gs around that suicide spot to convince people not to kill themselves. If he decides to take his kid to the movies one day, and while he’s gone someone kills themselves at that spot. He is not any less of a good person for it. He has not committed any evil and I wouldn’t even say he’s prioritised his kid seeing a movie over saving a life. And even if he spent his whole life on that cliff stopping people from jumping, there’s always another spot where he wasn’t there and a person that jumped that he could have stopped, so this idea of true, absolute good is impossible.

So I think it’s the same for everyone we should not criticise people for not chasing an unattainable idea of absolute good, or even push people toward chasing it.
