For that guilt/conflict you get when you have two opposed, but equally good-hearted, impulses.
As an example, take this article in today's Washington Post (soul-sucking registration required). It tells the story of kids going on diets to make weight-restricted football leagues. (Not always in an unhealthy manner, but still...) The idea behind the weight maximums seems like a good one--keep the kids who hit their growth spurts early from dominating leagues. But if it's encouraging the sort of weight-crashing that leads to horrible physiological practices and even to psychological body-image disorders, it's bad. What's a person to do?
Anyway, I want a word for that.
