 Everything has 2 sides, 

things that looks good have a dark side

Take something obvious like building orphanage, seems like a perfectly good thing to do ... but it gives parents reason to believe that it's not so bad if they leave their child, since the child will be cared for anyway ...

 If you set an orphanage on fire, the media will hype the story till mrbeast donates 100M, thus making it better for orphans.  
 That's another good example:

- Setting an orphanage on fire = bad 👎  
- MrBeast donating 100M = good 👍 

There are always two sides to everything. 
⚠️  (But joking aside, don't burn orphanages!) 
 Could I do just one, pretty please? ☺🔥 
 No 
 Or like when we saved the jews because we didn't want to believe they were really doing all the stuff to Germans. But then it was a little weird how they never said thank you, and 80 years later every western culture is destroyed, all of their countries gay and feminized, and the native populations being replaced.
