Thoughts from a book

    So I finished reading the book Wicked (the life and times of the wicked witch of the west), and it got me thinking about things. Have you ever felt like your doing all this good stuff for other people, but only have it blow up in your face by ending up bad? So does doing something with good intentions but having bad results make the deed bad, and vice versa does doing something with bad intentions only to end up with good results make it a good deed?
    I don't think people start off bad, yet I also don't think it takes something huge to make someone bad. I think it's little things one after another, and after time something little, but is backed with everything in the past finds a way to crack a person. 
    In the book elpheba (who later is referenced as the wicked witch of the west) tries to do everything good but ends up with deaths, fear, and guilt on her hands, then something small like a pair of shoes being given away just snaps her. I don't believe it was the shoes fully to blame its everything that had been building up, up to that point.
    If you haven't read this book I recommend it, it makes you think, and should not be considered a fast read.
