A little bit of evil can be a good thing. Killing weeds can promote the growth of a flower. Equally, a little bit of good can be an evil thing. Letting little Janie rid your bike, just before she got hit by a car in the street. Hard to say whether any given action is really good or evil, in the long-run.
In what way would killing weeds be evil? As long as nature isn't hurt to a critical extent and no permanent damage is done, what's wrong with killing weeds?
Letting little Janie ride your bike isn't evil either, IF you don't know she will get hit. However letting a little girl ride your bike near a street with the danger of her crashing into a car is just dumb.
Because I am only responsable for my own actions, not others. I wouldn´t allow my family to be slaughtered but I don´t think I would react violently. I´m inclined to think I would be in the first line to be slaughtered, telling them what they will receive from that actions.
If you are innocent and your blood is spilled in those basis, God will make justice, I trust this. I know most people won´t find this as good, but I just don´t care, I only intend to be good in the eyes of God, nobody else.
So if somebody with a gun came and tried to kill your family, and if you had a gun as well, you wouldn't shoot him (react violently) to prevent him from shooting your family? I wouldn't want to be in the family of a person with such twisted views. You would let your family die even if you had the chance to prevent it WITHOUT hurting innocents? I pity your family...

Giving can't only be good, what about giving a criminal a gun so he can murder innocents? In what way is that good ??
