I have to agree with ScabbyDouglas here; for every action there is a reaction & the interpretation of outcomes, from any action, is beyond the capacity of mankind. The most charitable of actions can lead to horrendous outcomes & all the wishing it back, in the world, won’t change anything. The assumption to know, who makes the greatest contribution or destruction, with any given act, is the arrogance that continues to destroy hope in all cultures.
We know a great deal about cause & affect within a relative time frame, but do not have the capacity to encompass the ripples that flow in all directions. We end back at the hypothesis of the butterfly & the hurricane. Mankind should endeavor to comprehend all things;-- him/herself first of all-- & please whatever gods;-- tempered with humor & compassion.
