A wonderful quote from a wonderful book that got me thinking at a mile a second..
"What will you say if I make a request of you?"
"I will say yes."
"Whatever it may be?"
"Not if I perceive it to be evil."
"Evil? An interesting concept. The fox eats the patridge chicks. For the fox it is a delightful breakfast. For the mother patridge it is an evil calamity. It all becomes merely of case of whose perspective one takes: the patridge or the fox."
-David Gemmell, Sword in the Storm
