Quote by Jerry Garcia

Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.

Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosin

Summary

This quote suggests that settling for the "lesser" evil is still a conscious decision to choose something morally wrong. It emphasizes the idea that compromise or making choices based on relative harm does not absolve one from responsibility. It challenges individuals to consider the ethical implications of their actions rather than simply accepting the lesser evil as the most favorable option. It encourages a critical evaluation of choices, urging people to seek alternatives where possible rather than conforming to a flawed binary decision-making process.
