How is it possible that a being created wholly (completely) good would choose not to be?

The notion of a "wholly good being" never choosing evil depends upon two prerequisites. 1) That there always being a clear choice between "good", on the one hand, and "evil" on the other; and 2) everything is either intrinsically good or intrinsically evil for everyone in the same way, and at the same time. This just plain does not hold up in the real world. Consider on the one hand, a person who grows cactus commercially, and a person who raises catfish. The former needs little water, the latter a great bit, so the conditions that are "good" for one are "bad" for another. And someone wanting to dispose of a pile of old wood by burning it will consider a calm day to be a good thing, while the same weather conditions on the same day might not be good for a person who makes his money providing glider lessons. Finally, sometimes the choice is not between good and evil, but blessedly sometimes, between "better" and "merely good", and unfortunately at other times, between "bad" and "worse". And how is the determination made as to whether some choice is good or evil made? Is it on the basis of the intent of the choice, or the consequences of the option chosen? Red Sovine's song Phantom 309 is a story about a truck driver who deliberately chooses to have an accident which will kill himself. Sounds like a bad choice, right? But if you know the song, he chose to immolate himself instead of colliding with a school bus full of children. So what might be evil in one context becomes an act of love ("Greater love hath no man") in another.
