Message: <blockquote data-quote="Felix" data-source="post: 3690318" data-attributes="member: 3929">Though the idea that Evil isn't necessarily bad has merit, your metaphor is entrely deficient.Ok.Not necessarily. Suppose Ari has just now mugged Phil for his loaf and wolfed it down; Ari now slavers looking at Dan's loaf. Giving it to him would not necessarily be 100% Good. Nonsense. Think of the Little Red Hen; she does all the work; will she not in the end reap the reward? Though giving may be Good, not giving is not synonymous with Evil.A Lawful reaction to "2 people, 1 loaf" would be to divide it evenly, given that both contributed to the loaf's creation. Alternatively, another Lawful solution might be for Ari to take Dan's loaf as Government Loaf Collector, give him in return a "Coupon Redeemable For 1 Loaf in the Future".You left out "Dan does what he wants because it's Dan's bread and Ari has no claim to Dan's property". But there would be as many Lawful responses to the situation as there are Chaotic; as there are Evil; as there are Good. Lawful may mean uniform and rigid, but that doesn't mean there aren't myriad ways to be rigid and uniform.At any rate, the point was that while a metaphor is supposed to simplify a problem and refine the essence of the disagreement, yours simplified the situation beyond the point of usefulness.</blockquote>
