    I'll go into more depth (as in, use all 8192 characters to their fullest) later, most importantly why this moral choice is interesting, but for now the basic gist is that I currently believe "good choices", "evil choices" and all that are just conveniences and we're using them way too much in places they frankly have no business being used. If you want someone to stop doing a specific thing, make that specific thing not benefit them. If all you're looking for is to not be affected by what they're doing (whether because you are unable to do as mentioned previously (which may consist of sub-reasons such as not being mentally ready to do so, being unable to gather a suitable enough group to do so, or it simply being impossible from your position) or some other reason), simply leave the situation, either temporarily or permanently depending on what is suitable. This may just be my "why say more than what is necessary" speaking, but I don't see any reason to dwell on how someone's making "evil choices" for anything more than "this person is making evil choices, let's give them consequences", or the occasional "this person made this evil choice, and they faced these consequences. that will hapoen to you if you make the same evil choice" and "this person's evil choice caused these things to happen, which is why the world is like it is today."

      Yes, all that is just the brief explanation. I am hilariously bad at summarizing.

      so what i seem to understand from this is that "good" and "evil" are very subjective?

      Many of these types of things are subjective so that's not really the notable thing here, what I do find notable is despite that we act like they're something that can be agreed on when there's a much more stable (still almost certainly subjective somewhere, but in hopefully less places than "good" and "evil" are) ground of if something benefits someone in some way or another. Why are we focusing on "good" and "evil" then? And more importantly, why find it more important to call an action evil than to do what one should do against evil actions?
