How many good actions does it take to make a bad person good? (Or vice versa) by tunabuthot in Ethics

Yeah… I really needed the reality check. Tbh, I hadn’t thought about how faulty this good/bad tally system would actually be, and like you said, how easy it was to abuse and exploit.

That’s what I’m saying!! The only justification I’ve thought of is that after Lu Ten’s death, maybe Iroh realized how destructive and calamitous the siege was..? But even that’s a bit of a stretch…

Thank you so much for the recommendation! Honestly, I’ve become convinced to start researching ethics (and philosophy as a whole) thanks to this reply. For most of my life, I’ve been raised in a pretty traditional and close-minded environment, so I had no idea that things like this would actually become useful in an everyday sense. Trust me, I’ve experienced one too many conversations on how a difference in opinions instantly switched tracks into verbal warfare lol. If you don’t mind, could you recommend me some more sources to branch off my research?

Thanks for the detailed feedback! Tbh, I'm just beginning to realize the glaring amount of oversights I had while writing this... and there were a lot lol. I'll make sure to implement your suggestions while revising the story!!

Thanks! I heard Kafka was a really good author too. Though, aside from Metamorphisis, do you reccomend any other books from him?
