Isn't acting out of a sense of morality the definition of a 'good deed'?
Granted, bombing stuff hardly classifies but if you decide it's necessary to bomb something, preventing unnecessary harm for moral reasons could still be seen as a 'good deed'.
- artificialLimbs 6y agoNo. Some people think killing Jews is moral, for instance.
- takeda 6y agoYep, as long as you can explain that someone is a bigger monster than you are you can justify yourself killing anyone.
- mckirk 6y agoIndeed, but isn't that actually an argument for what constitutes a 'good deed' being highly subjective, since moral frameworks seem to be?
- Symmetry 6y agoMost violence that gets carried out is for purposes the perpetrator considers moral whether it's "snitches get stitches" or "They cheated on me" or "His friend killed one of my friends and this is just vengeance."
