Read this on my FB feed: "Goodness without wisdom always produces evil" An example would help. I don't understand it. Adam and Eve?

Believe it's a Robert Heinlein quote. I'm not really into sci-fi, but enjoyed Red Planet.

Weren't asking for thoughts on where it came from...where you? So...thoughts on it's meaning? Okay, I'll take a stab. I think it means that when we attempt a good deed, we end up doing what feels emotionally correct and not necessarily what IS rationally good.

Read this on my FB feed: "Goodness without wisdom always produces evil" I dont think its an absolute I think its more accurate to say 'evil hides easiest behind good intentions that are not tempered with wisdom'
