In every good there is some bad.

I believe that in every good act, there is some bad. It may not be the intention and it my be unforeseen. But what we do with the best of intentions, can sometimes have negative consequences.

And vice-versa.

Yes or No?

No I don't agree. I like to think I do lots of good things in life without there being a bad implication.

Example- helping a little pigeon chick that has fallen out of its nest and onto the ground. But by taking it to the vets, you deprive another animal (say a hawk) from feeding it to its young. And so the hawk’s chicks may go hungry and die.

Sorry morbid example.

Not necessarily bad but as a great man once said… Look, there’s no unselfish good deeds. Bonus points if anyone knows who said that

Wolverhampton

A few months ago the other local schools had an inset day when my kids school didn't. All the lollipop ladies (and man) had the day off. I helped a boy cross the roads with us. We never spoke, he just stayed with us all the way and I made sure he got to school safely.

What bad consequence might come of this? Was it selfish? I can't see anything more to it than me helping a child.

So I disagree with you OP. A good act can be simply good.

I guess, all ‘good acts’ can serve to inflate our Ego no matter how small that inflation.

I know that if I give money or food to a homeless person I feel good. I think that’s my Ego that feels good.

Actually serous? :-I. Wowser! I always thought Chandler Bing was the clever one. I stand corrected.

His justification was the same as yours. If you feel good after any good deed it isn’t truly selfless. Which is true if you think about it.

Yes, sometimes my husband is inside me and he's bad. I'm good.

Yes, if you follow the ripples out far enough. It's essentially the butterfly effect. It depends on how far out you want to follow those ripples to give merit to the statement.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction so to speak.

Appletree’s hubby must have good and bad thoughts when he is inside. Like alternating ripples on the pond.

Yes and no.

If you know the bad consequence, was your good act tainted?

Foodbanks is my current rant on good acts/bad acts. I give because I don't want people to be hungry but...

* the shame people feel should never be dismissed

* the 'virtuous' pride (and some MPs using attendance at a foodbank as a photo op)feels icky to me

*Hearing of a man saying they voted for this government because the opposition said they'd get rid of foodbanks makes me cross.

My 'good' act perpetuates a bad structure and system.

Yep! 50 shades of grey with Foodbanks. The principle is good. Judging other people’s motives for doing things is a road to frustration. You can never tell what somebody’s intention is for doing something. As long as you give with a good heart and then forget about it...before the Ego gets hold of it. (In my humble opinion).
