User blog:VicGeorge2K9/Opinion: Evil should never be rewarded with good

This is my personal opinion which I like to put in every story I create in my Smurfs fanfiction series, that evil should never be rewarded with good. Evil should always be portrayed as having the most undesirable outcome ever imaginable in order to dissuade people from ever following a path of evil in their own lives. Rewarding evil with good cheapens the idea of doing good and makes it rather pointless when the same outcome (or a better one) can be achieved by doing evil. Of course, not every good act will always be rewarded with good, and sometimes doing good should be its own reward in order to emphasize that it shouldn't always be about what we get for doing good, but simply that it's the right thing to do. If evil is ever rewarded with a favorable outcome, it should be one that has a catch to it or one that comes with consequences that the person committing evil has never considered or just paid no attention to. Having Smurfette marry Papa Smurf in my alternate timeline story "Papa Smurf & Mama Smurfette" was met with her fellow Smurfs shunning her and ultimately rebelling against Papa Smurf's authority, leading to their being expelled from the village and other further misfortunes that such a union would deserve.
