No, it's not. It's a nasty world. My superiors didn't make it that way. But they collectively have a lot of experience and wisdom, centuries of it by your standards, and that's why I trust their goodness and their judgment. Both are far better than my own. And that is why I do what I'm told and don't need to question anything. If they have decided someone needs to die for the good of society, that's what has to happen.
