Simplified Meaning:

When you try to make a deal between something good and something bad, usually only the bad side benefits. Imagine you are in a classroom where some students want to cheat on an exam and others want to study honestly. If the teacher allows a little bit of cheating to make both groups happy, in the end, the cheaters will gain an advantage because they get good grades without hard work. Meanwhile, the honest students get no special benefit and might even be discouraged. This shows that when you mix good with bad, the bad side often ends up winning. So, in life, it is better to stick firmly to what is right and not make deals with wrongdoing. This way, you maintain your integrity and ensure fairness.
