Another story might be about breaking a small rule. Let's say in a school, there is a rule not to run in the hallways. But if a student is running to quickly inform a teacher that there is a small fire in the classroom, it's wrong according to the rule but for a very good reason. The safety of everyone in the school is at stake and this quick action might prevent a disaster.
Here's another. A student might cheat on a test. This is clearly wrong. However, if the student was under extreme pressure from their family to get good grades and feared serious consequences like being disowned if they didn't perform well, they might see it as a 'for good reason' in their warped sense. But this still doesn't make it right in the general moral context.
There is this story about a tourist. She was taking pictures near a building in a foreign city. Unbeknownst to her, there was a political protest starting there. The authorities came and for a while, she was held because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. She had no idea what was going on and was just trying to take some nice photos.
Another ethical implication is the potential for a slippery slope. If we start justifying wrong actions for good reasons in some cases, it could lead to more and more exceptions being made. For example, if we allow lying in one situation for a good cause, where do we draw the line? It might become easier for people to rationalize unethical behavior in other situations as well, which could undermine the overall moral fabric of society.
Sure. There was a guy who walked into a bank just as the security system malfunctioned and the alarms went off. He got tackled by the security guards before he could even explain he was just there to deposit a check. Another one is a woman who showed up at a construction site right when a huge beam fell. She was just passing by to get to the other side of the street but it looked like she was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Missing an appointment for a better cause can be another example. Say you have a doctor's appointment, but on the way you see an accident victim who needs immediate help. You stop to help the victim and miss your appointment. It's wrong to miss the appointment as you made a commitment, but helping someone in need is a great reason.
One Christmas gone wrong story is when the turkey got burned in the oven. The family was so looking forward to a delicious meal. But the cook got distracted by all the guests arriving and the turkey was left in too long. It was black and charred on the outside. Another story could be about the Christmas tree falling over. Just as the family was gathered around to open presents, the cat jumped on the tree and it toppled, scattering ornaments everywhere.
There was a case where a man thought he could handle a cuckold - like situation for the sake of some financial gain his partner was getting from another man. But things went wrong when he started to feel humiliated every time he saw them together. His self - esteem plummeted, and he began to resent his partner. He started drinking heavily and became a different person. His partner then realized that this was not the way she wanted to live either, and they parted ways, both feeling damaged by the whole experience.
Once I planned to have a picnic on a Saturday. I checked the weather forecast which said it would be sunny. But on that day, it rained cats and dogs. It was the wrong day and wrong time as all my picnic stuff got wet and we had to go back home.
One example could be two high school sweethearts. They were really in love, but at that time they were both aiming for top universities. The pressure of exams and future career plans made them part ways. They were right for each other in terms of feelings, but the time was wrong as their academic and career pursuits took precedence.
One such story could be when the swapped wives had very different parenting styles. One wife was very strict about diet and study time, while the other was more laid - back. This led to chaos as the children were confused. They rebelled against the new rules and the two families ended up in a lot of arguments.
