Quote by Mary Wollstonecraft
No man chooses evil because it is evil he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks.
Summary
This quote suggests that people do not intentionally choose to do evil acts because they are intrinsically evil. Instead, they mistake those actions for a means to attaining happiness or the good they desire. It implies that individuals might have a distorted perception of what will bring them contentment and may unintentionally commit immoral deeds in pursuit of their perceived happiness. This interpretation highlights the idea that people's intentions are often based on what they believe will bring them the greatest satisfaction, even if it leads to immoral outcomes.
