Human life itself is a less evil in comparison with human death.

Dear

I agree with Vladimir Karadzhov

Best Regards 

If you ask me "is Lesser of two evils" a perfect approach any where in human life.

I would say in most of the spheres?

Dont take the meaning of Evil literally but if you take the meaning in a sense where we choose the one with lesser imperfections....then its practically applicable to most of the things we do.

And I think there is nothing wrong in this kind of approach

Its not always possible in life to get the perfect thing

so within the available things we choose the one which is some what better than the other.

Its better to have something than nothing.

They say "a bird in hand is worth than two in bush".

Dear,

In the case of human lives, I think that all alternatives must be sought, since the "lesser evil" can not always be the solution to the problem.

Greetings!

''If you always vote for the lesser of two evils, you will always have evil, and you will always have less.''

Of two evils choose NEITHER.

I agree 100 percent. I do not support divorce, but, it seems that sometimes, is unavoidable.

Dear Marianne:

I think the proverb is valid when those two options are really the only ones.  Given this assumption, the rational solution is to choose the lesser evil. If you have to choose between losing a leg for amputation or losing your life, the best option is clear. But in many situations there may be other options if we think creatively.

idioms and proverbs can  appeal to the ignorant mass, using

metaphors , objectification and embodiment of abstract concepts are employed for rationalization and justification of despicable harmful issues ,

they are fallacious arguments aimed at deception and trickery.  this ''lesser of two evils or Hobson's choice has led to tragic political and social catastrophes , like selecting dangerous racist misogynist rapists as presidents. 

you don't have to take the nearest horse to the door in the stall or the loudest dog in the pack , you can just bike or walk, or just read books and listen to The Doors ,,,,,

Human being should avoid evils. In this process, one should go for lesser evil.

How Are You Dealing With Your Demons? 

Who are your demons?

Supernatural beings, unclean spirits, fallen angels,

Winged bulls coming from the nether world,

Mental illnesses, catalepsy, headache, epilepsy and nightmares,

Demons of blindness, Shabriri,

Who rested on exposed water at night,

And blinded the ones who drank it,

The bastard spirits, Liliths, owls,

Sent to herd or swine by divine hands,

Catholic exorcists heal afflicted souls,

Overwhelmed, seized victims,

How are you dealing with your demons?

Stand not in the way of an ox when coming from the pasture,

For Satan dances between his horns,

Demons can be conjured and controlled, or

Ogre-like creature with horns,

What demons possesses you?

Against your spiritual entity,

I fell amongst the demons,

You climbed out of demons,

You behave like demons,

I am fighting the demons,

How are you dealing with your demons?

Zoroastrianism’s Spenta Mainyu set against Angra Mainyu,

Progressive mentality against destructive mentality,

Under the one God Ahura Mazda, the illuminating wisdom,

The Lord struck down all the firstborns in Egypt,

The unclean demons led astray the children of the sons of Noah,

Psychological, political, mystical demons,

Deal with your demons,

And you can have your life,

Shortcomings, personality issues, multiple personality disorder,

Associative identity disorder, lack of enthusiasm, sloth,

Addiction, alcoholism, gambling, lust, greed for power,

Mans’ Achilles heels,

I have no demons, I am in control,

How are dealing with your demons?

Ghost, bad ghosts, demons bring him to destruction,

He blames demons, evil spirits,

Beware the demon,

But demons keep us alive, we flight, we fight,

Necessary evil, good souls, imaginary enemies,

We are our dreams, we are our nightmares,

Inner demons, inner demons,

He kills his father, rapes his mother,

He rapes a goat behind the haystack,

Suppressed childhood desires, pent up emotions,

Cognitive analysis of what he lacks,

You shake hand with your demons,

You befriend them, you embrace them,

You breed, feed and nurture them,

You don’t challenge them, you don’t baffle them,

Deal with them, deal with them, cope with them,

Live with your demons,

Striving for perfection can be the demon,

Striving for unconditional love, perfect beauty,

Striving for exactness and discipline can be the demon,

Extremes, extremes, extremes,

How are you dealing with your demons?

Demonization of rivals,

Debunk the myth of possession by evil spirits,

And that possessed people are not actually evil,

Rather, they are doing battle with the forces of evil,

Human wrongdoing and transgression,

The wickedness of humankind on earth,

Sin originates when angels descend from heaven and fornicate women,

Birthing giants as tall as 300 cubits.

Forbidden knowledge,

Beautification techniques, alchemy, astrology,

Deal with your demons, the inner demons,

The solution is in my hands:

Self-possession, self-restraint, self-command, self-leadership,

How are you dealing with your demons? ...

All care: chemicals, biochemical, biological and physical involve a degree of risk and are always potentially dangerous. Doctors know very well that there are no risk-free care. Therefore physician always choose the lesser evil, knowledge and belief, taking into account that medicine is not an exact science. For this reason we take care by the physician and not by the shaman though sometimes the shaman guess.

well  said, Leonardo.

Is "Lesser of two evils" a perfect approach anythere in human life ?

"Lesser of two evils" is analogous to "making the lesser loss among the 2 loss making projects".  When we think about this approach we need to ask ourselves is it really no other better option or option for the better / best profit making project.  We might be running out of idea but we can always brainstorm with others for second opinions.  "Lesser of two evils" is only viable option if we have no other better alternative.

Dear Professor Shahsuvaryan,

Choosing the lesser evil is sometimes necessary if the purpose is for the greater good. For example, Nelson Mandela faced the dilemma of losing political support from some of his political associates and retribution against his opponents/enemies. He decided to choose the former as it was the lesser evil--the choice would bring less consequential damage to the country.  Here's an excerpt about his decision:

"Mandela had every reason to seek vengeance against the guarantors and enactors of Apartheid. Some in his African National Congress party thirsted for vengeance. But he didn’t. Instead he negotiated with his adversaries and included them in the transition. In doing so, he likely avoided a miserable fate: the country falling into disrepair, chaos and retributive violence."
