If we humans truly have free will, then we have/get to choose to do good or do evil.
It’s not being or doing good if you have no choice or are forced into it.
If we truly embrace freedom and free will, then we accept that the very same things/ideals that lead to happiness and success, liberty etc, are also used to give some folks the ability to hurt or harm others. We can’t have it both ways.
Wasn’t it Ben Franklin who said something along the lines of “those who choose safety and security over freedom and liberty deserve neither”.
It’s a balancing act that all of us have to navigate in our personal lives as well as what we accept in society as a whole.
