A Clockwork Orange

Goodness or evil may not always be a choice; sometimes, we are left with no alternative but one or the other. Does involuntary goodness hold any true human value? Or does a person deserve punishment for an evil committed without free will? Am I truly a better person for not killing, simply because the circumstances never arose, compared to someone who killed because they had no other choice? Perhaps, had I been in their shoes, I might have tortured and killed with even greater cruelty.
