Wisdom comes with age, for a selected few

Another way of disputing "The lesser of 2 evils". 

"Though it is true that sometimes it is lawful to tolerate a lesser moral evil in order to avoid a greater evil or in order to promote a greater good, it is never lawful, even for the gravest reasons, to do evil that good may come of it."  
Humanae vitae, Roman 3:8


Had an awesome SGD with Dr Soon. He is amazing; so inspirational, pleasant for a Head of Department, humorous and an excellent educator. And his repetitive eye-blinking just makes him more 'normal' rather than like any high and mighty, arrogant consultant. Why can't all his doctors follow in his footsteps?! The things that he has taught us can never be found in the textbooks. His knowledge of Islamic laws makes all my Muslim friends gape in amazement. And he said something about The true spirit of One Malaysia is not about tolerating one another, but to ACCEPT each other. That is why, we have to understand about other religions as well. That will make us an even better doctor. He also said that it's important to have a strong faith so that we will not be easily shaken, especially by all the many moral and ethical dilemmas that so often surround our profession. If we are weak, that's when we go crazy (literally, crazy). I can go on and on about the wisdom he has imparted but I would rather not because that will just make me sound like an infatuated student. haha...
