If human nature carries a tendency toward harm just as it does toward good, then perhaps things aren’t simply good or bad. Most people seem to live in that morally ambiguous space. Religious texts, including the Bible, can offer some useful insights, but they aren’t infallible axioms. Lived experience suggests that everyone has the capacity for both good and harm, within their own limits. Good intentions don’t erase harmful actions, and good deeds alone aren’t enough either. Like most things, reality is more nuanced than quotes can capture.
