One that confounds good and evil is an enemy to good.

Summary

This quote suggests that when someone fails to distinguish between good and evil or blurs the line between them, they become a threat to goodness itself. It implies that individuals who cannot differentiate between right and wrong have the potential to harm or hinder the pursuit of what is virtuous and morally upright. In a world where moral values guide actions and decisions, it is crucial to be able to recognize and uphold the distinction between good and evil in order to preserve and promote the well-being of society.
