>No "evil" influence is additive
An evil person can do a thing with positive outcomes. Anon hates his ex because she did something bad, and we can probably conclude then that she might have done other bad things, but this one action of getting anon into art had an ultimately good outcome. She is not absolved of her wrongdoing but to whatever degree she is a horrible person she managed to produce one act with good results and so instead of taking that thing which is good which has been given to you by an evil person and using it to do bad or just worthless things it would be better then to do more good
>Im not sure what point you're trying to make
The point I was trying to make is that getting anon into art was a good thing and that anon or other people shouldn't let their hatred of a person blind them from identifying things a person does that can have/has had good outcomes.
>Is something only someone wholly unacquainted with suffering would say.
I was ritually abused by my parents, grew up poor, watched my father almost kill my mother, was witness to a near-successful suicide attempt, was intentionally almost permanently maimed once, and my mother attempted to suffocate my sister once as well. Presumption is an unhealthy habit.
>Some people will spend their entire wretched lives trying to rebuild some semblance of a coherent worldview because of the actions of just one person
Nothing in my post is a denial of that. The point of my post is that sometimes shitty people unintentionally do things that you can use to get ahead and stop being in a bad place. The shitty people are still shitty, the bad things they did are still bad, and you can hate them forever, but it is not only good but necessary to take and run with every single advantage you got from those people before you escaped them. In this scenario: Would you rather have been betrayed and then spend your live wallowing in hatred or would you rather have been betrayed but ultimately recover from it?
