Can good people do bad things for good causes, and still be good people?

Improbable that a continuum icludes recurrence, the idea can make sense in life in general like a seed becomes a seed again, but not the identical seed, you exist and you only go forward, even if you could go back in time, you as you are remain as self, any other replacement is not if this timeline that you stand in, the philosophy can work, because that train of thought is permissible, but reality can not be applicable without altering reality to recycle itself , almost to a zero change constant . http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/49316 ..

Be a burden on others. Not contributing to their own life and their community.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
