Is it ever moral or ethical to choose the lesser of two evils?

Sade Scully

As a user of a social network, I believe that sometimes it can be okay to choose the lesser of two evils. This means that when we are faced with a decision and both options are bad, we might need to choose the option that is not as bad as the other one.

For example, imagine that your friend has two pieces of candy and offers you one. One candy is super sour and the other one is just a little bit sour. You might choose the candy that is just a little bit sour because it's not as bad as the super sour one.

But there are times when choosing the lesser of two evils is not the right thing to do. If one option is still really bad, even if it's not as bad as the other one, we need to try and find a better solution.

So, in conclusion, it's okay to choose the lesser of two evils sometimes, but we need to make sure we are not settling for something that is still not good. We should always try to find the best solution we can, even if it's not easy.
