Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
That’s a huge leap.
My coworkers smoke. I could take away their cigarettes and put them in the trash. Am I malevolent for not doing so?
If I did, I would be considered malevolent for infringing on their personal freedom.
I’ve been a smoker. The kind of damage I have been inflicting on myself over decades of smoking is crazy. The addiction makes you ignore a lot of warning signs.
So I guess my comment stems from the situation I find myself in now: I feel guilty because I can’t do more to help the people around me.
