Because, if bad can sometimes come from good actionsâ€�? where does it ever say, anywhere, that only bad can come from bad actions? Maybe sometimes â€� the wrong way is the right way? You can take the wrong path and it still comes out where you want to be? Or, spin it another way, sometimes you can do everything wrong and it still turns out to be right?”
