the greater good

Doing something for the greater good is like feeding the gavial. At first, you give it more fish so that it'll go to sleep and stop causing trouble. But at one point it wakes up, and you have to feed it again. It grows as you feed it, and you still do it to maintain peace and quiet. And you end up with a reptile that's not only hungry but also huge and annoyed, and you've got no fish left, and you don't know what to do.
It's exactly like that.
