Dharma is not what people typically think of when they think of "good." Dharma is perpendicular to any polarity. It is wholeness and placeness. It is truth and sincerity of being. It is not your pet cause, your petty morality, or your comfort. It is not merciful nor cruel. It just is.
This goes against the human instinct to impose order on nature. Nearly everyone has an ideal in their mind, an end goal, an end world, a pet utopia. "We must retvrn!" "We must progress!" It's fine to walk towards such a thing, but the world is born of flux itself. The nature of reality is tension, cyclicality, cause and effect. There is simply no world without war or death or change, and people cause themselves unbelievable amounts of suffering by denying them, instead of making peace with them as a healthy part of the whole. A forest is refreshed by fire, a flower grows in decay. Dharma ensures this is true, karma makes it true. It's psychotic to imagine a universe where this isn't true, and it's killing you trying to live a life where this isn't true. The prudent die daily.
