We always say that life is not fair, but there is no way to evaluate whether the act is fair or not. Take Covid 19 ... are the scientist evil for recommending a booster dose that seemed to have worked at the time easing our apprehensions about the severity of Covid, and now that another set of studies reveal that booster doses seemed to be more of a liability than help ... without context it is impossible to appraise and assess if the act is good or bad.
Is the training officer of the Police Academy that evil because of his insensitive mishandling of new rookie soldiers ... when all he wants is to separate the boys from men ... so the training will prepare them for the rigorous tasks inbred in the police job?
Is the orthopedist that evil if he amputates the patient's leg (there was tissue destruction and infection) just to save the body from progressive gangrene due to diabetes?
Was the obstetrician evil when they performed fetal decapitation when the baby was in a transverse lie, there was prolonged labor and the impacted shoulder threatens the life of the mother?
How many small-town lotteries (STL) winners had their lives turned upside down by their unexpected flow of cash? We all have heard anecdotes of people who missed the early bus only to be shocked that the bus plunged into a deep ravine with nil survivors ... and how about the chance passenger who thought it was his lucky day when a seat became available ... and then the crash happened?
What seems good or bad in one moment can appear exactly the opposite the next.
