en A man is sometimes entitled to hurt (or even, in my opinion, to kill) his fellow, but only where the necessity is urgent and the good to be obtained is obvious[...]. To turn this into a general charter for afflicting humanity 'because affliction is good for them' [...] is not indeed to break the Divine scheme but to volunteer for the post of Satan within that scheme.
