Interesting isn't it? But what if the same rapist risked his own life the following week by driving through a fire-storm to save a family? Is that man (I'm assuming we have a man in mind when we refer to rapists... controversial too I know) but is that man a good or a bad man?
Is it possible to be defined as a Good or Bad person for the rest of your life no matter what? or is it fluid? I'm still leaning toward fluidity and not labelling people. Getting back to the rapist: sadly many soldiers have committed atrocity including rape in times of war and incredible personal stress... BUT at the same time they have laid their lives down for their countries? I think it's a very grey issue. as much as it would be more convenient to label people Good or Bad I honestly don't think it's possible... until perhaps after death.
