Is there such a thing as good and evil

[Mentor]

Good and evil , are a common conselt of roght and wrong, many people belive in thses conspets without what i think is truly understanding them. personaly i dont belive a conspet of good and evil in realtiy acatly exists. as there is ALWAYs to sides to a story. even in terrosims "one mans terrorsit is another mans freedom fighter" so nether side is good or evil, right or wrong. if a mentily disrubed peron murders someone, how can they be evil, as it is likly thay may not have ment to do what they did (eg lenny form mice and men).

So what does classife as evil then? what do you think

If you are doing good you could be doing if evil or bad and if you are doing something bad you may be doing good. Do you not concure?

I do agree that it is tricky. As you say one mans terrorist is anothers freedom fighter. We judge things to be evil which usually result in the unhappiness of somebody (whether by being upset themselves or grieving over somebody else) and death really. But something seen as a sin by some could seem to be alright to do by somebody else. I think when somebody says evil or good it is simply based on the general views of others.

ditto like i think they said good and evil is verey tricky
who ever made it up i mean really u could be on 2 sides of a war wich side would be good wich side would be evil if they both said they were good it would be fonfuseind

thats what i think is the primy diffrnce between good and eveil, and right and wrong.
Right and wrong depend on who you ask,its like left and right depnd on where you are. but good and evil , by deefition menaing there can be only one corect meaning, wich is like north sound west etc, as were vere you are on the plante those dircetsons saty the same.
By deefition evil, must be somoen who is evil, not just that does omthoing thats wrong, even if evryonme else sees it as wrong, they may not, so therefor it cant be evil
*wonders if made any senece*

One can't exist without the other, it's as simple as that.

You may be doing something that you think is good, but to someone else, somewhere, it will be evil.

to be evil, it has to be thogh of as evil by all partys, the other person may think its wrong but you may not, or vice versa. they are simply a question of roght and wronmg, not as good or evil

No it doesn't have to be thought of as evil by "all parties".

Let me give you an example, the election, just because George Bush was voted into power, doesn't mean everyone wanted him. Just because people voted for Kerry, doesn't make them wrong. So just because one person thinks it's evil, that doesn't make them wrong, and it doesn't make it a question of right and wrong.

Evil cannot exist without good, and good cannot exist without evil.

but by acatly deffition, good and evil is ither or, not a bit of both. the conspet you are refersing to is that of righit or wrong. evil means there can be no good only maliss. good is of teh smae rule. im refering to teh cosnept. say a plot in a movie, theres always the good guy, and the bad guy. they never show a chariter as both good and bad (well rairly) wich si why it acnbot be appled properly to real life in my opion.
Good and evil acnot existe themsvles, as if you do somthing good, it cannot be evil. and if you do somthing evil it cannot be good. and if u cant do ether without ther other. they becoem a paridox of there own perseptions so as non can acalty be corect in reality
