Take for example the story of Star Wars. Luke and the Rebels went out to blow up the Death Star. However, flip the perspective, imagine an Imperial officer coming to work on the Death Star to feed his newborn baby... It begs the question, is Luke doing ''good'' when he launched the proton torpedo blowing up the Death Star or was the Imperial officer doing bad when coming to work to feed his newborn child?

Once this relativity is understood, one can start to see who the real [[Climate baddies|bad]] and [[Earth Heroes|good]] actors are. | ||
