I'm not claiming it as an original idea. I found a definition of my outlook and this seemed to fit it pretty decently. Should the end be known, however, is there any issue?

What if the detriment of one is an equal benefit shared amongst many? One person loses 5$ 100 people gain 5$. One person is negatively affected by a new policy, but 10 are helped. Minorities are given less preferential treatment, and the majority's paid more attention.
