Meaning
This reads as a refusal of simple moral sorting. It can be taken to mean that people are mixed, capable of harm and kindness at once, and that inner conflict is part of being human rather than an exception. It lands in an argument about someone’s character, when a more honest view needs room for contradiction instead of labels.
