I have had a few experiences lately the resemble what you are about to see. I have been trying to figure out how any of these experiences could be considered sensible.
- Bad things deserve reprimand.
Employee A is a good worker.
Employee A derserves reprimand.
- One should stay away from bad influences.
Situation A is a good influence.
One should stay away from situation A.
- Bad ideas should be refuted and abandoned.
Idea A is a good idea.
Idea A should be refuted and abandoned.
I have tried for months now to figure out why certain decisions have been made and this has been the logic nearly every time. For a little while I thought that I was perhaps missing a fact, some other puzzle piece to build upon the major premise before the conclusion was reached. Perhaps, I mused, I was missing some aspect of the overall nature of goodness. I may have even missed something like, "There is no knowledge of what to do with good things." Which may lead one, not to research a possible fate for good things, but mistakenly treat them as bad things, for which the fate was determined explicitly. But then I realized something, every one of these situations operates on one shared assumption
"Good things are actually bad."
