Is a man who chooses the bad perhaps in some way better than a man who has the good imposed upon him?-Collection of common programming errors

Perhaps, in some way? Perhaps? How can anyone say no to that – he might after all be a better cook, mightn’t he. But I think with all those qualifiers, “perhaps”, and “in some way”, you water the question down to the point that it has no real meaning. Like a defense lawyer asking, “Isn’t it POSSIBLE that victim would have died in that instant of natural causes even if my client had not subjected him to a flame thrower attack?” Well, ya, everyone dies SOME time, so in theory it could happen that the guy would have died just then anyway, but … However, if we de-weenie thie question and just ask, “is choosing the bad (what bad? Probably depends what you mean there) better (in some undefined way) than a man who has no opportunity to make a choice? Sheesh. But still, I think no, we are judged on our behavior, without too much regard for why we do any given thing, be it choice or training or fear of the private voices in our heads.

So no, give me a man who does good over a man who does bad, any time.

  1. Perhaps, in some way? Perhaps? How can anyone say no to that – he might after all be a better cook, mightn’t he. But I think with all those qualifiers, “perhaps”, and “in some way”, you water the question down to the point that it has no real meaning. Like a defense lawyer asking, “Isn’t it POSSIBLE that victim would have died in that instant of natural causes even if my client had not subjected him to a flame thrower attack?” Well, ya, everyone dies SOME time, so in theory it could happen that the guy would have died just then anyway, but … However, if we de-weenie thie question and just ask, “is choosing the bad (what bad? Probably depends what you mean there) better (in some undefined way) than a man who has no opportunity to make a choice? Sheesh. But still, I think no, we are judged on our behavior, without too much regard for why we do any given thing, be it choice or training or fear of the private voices in our heads.

    So no, give me a man who does good over a man who does bad, any time.

  2. I’d say he wasn’t better than the person who had good imposed on them , just more wiser and adept in thinking maybe …but not completely more wiser for as a man imposed with good would be less wise and deep in one aspect of themselves,they would surpass the other in aspects that the man who had no good imposed on them could not comprehend… each therefore would be better than the other in what they had imposed on them …

  3. Hi there. No, not at all. He is worse,as he has chosen an evil path. If you doubt me, ask the victims. Is it better for him as an individual, though? Perhaps. Free will is always preferable to outside control. Every murderer in Broadmoor would love the chance to choose the bad again, if we allowed them to.

    In unity, Steve.

  4. Yes because with experience comes wisdom and if one lives a life too afraid to bend the rules from time to time, then he hasn’t truly lived life, thus he doesn’t get any wisdom…not like the man who chooses bad instead of good from time to time.

  5. The law of attraction would suggest the good was imposed on the person for being good, whereas the man who chooses the bad may have bad imposed on him.

  6. No. I think choosing to do the wrong thing makes it worse than not choosing anything. The man who chooses the bad does learn a valuable lesson from his experience but it doesn’t make him better.

  7. yes. anyone who lives the way they want to live is better than someone who allows someone else to tell them how to live.

  8. good and bad are illusions
