Do you consider someone evil if they loved someone evil?
If a person cares deeply for and suports someone who you consider "Evil", would you consider the supporter to be evil as well?
I hate to resort to this, but I think the easy way to explain what I mean is to involve Hitler. Now, Hitler's mom died long before he became a monster, but she was always very loving and suportive of her son when she was alive. Its said that he felt the grief of losing her his entire adult life.
Now, if she had stayed alive, would you consider her evil if she still loved and cared for her son, even as he he commited some of the most greivous crimes in human history? Does she share the blame for what happened for giving love and support to her son, perhaps enticing him to do more then he would have without her? Or does he alone take the guilt because they were his decisions?
***(NOTE: I dont want this to become a discussion about Hitler and his Mom! It could be any Parent/Lover/Friend of someone doing something evil/unethical, from Hitler to Berny Maddof to the Neighborhood Bully. The question is, do they become evil as well? )***
