No? Saving a child from being swept away in a freezing river is an unalloyed good, no matter how terrible the scoundrel that did it.

Like I mentioned, it looks like you still have quite a lot of emotional maturity to develop.

What if it's only as part of kidnapping the child and forcing them into grueling slave labor until the day they die? Is that still perfectly unalloyed?

(Not that I'm saying 4chan is metaphorically doing that here; just for the sake of argument.)
