So are the greatest benevolences!

Therefore, that doesn't work to distinguish tyranny from benevolence.

It's as silly as saying "the most evil humans all have red blood!"

@ElwoodBlues The greatest benevolences are done following affections rather than causes, I think.

I don't think you can extricate affections from causes. "I love my country," "I love my people," etc; all these can become both causes and affections. All can lead to great good or great evil.
