This is my first post in near 3 weeks. This is my first thread in about 3 months (maybe more). Just wanted to throw that out there.
Now then, let's talk about morality for a bit here. It's a wonderous thing, isn't it? Now, let's think about "Good Vs. Bad" or "Good Vs. Evil". Good is considered the standard sumeritan; s/he is likeable, respectful, polite, a philanthropist (partaker of charity), and an overall well adjusted fellow. Though this person does not exist, let's say that he does for the rest of the conversation.
Now then, let's take a peek at good 'ol Evil here. He is considered... well, what is he considered? Easily tempted? A weaver of tempt? You could easily argue that anyone who is Easily tempted is not evil, but rather normal. You could easily argue the same for a maker of tempt. Who is a "bad guy"? The one who smuggles drugs? You have to get by in the world somehow.
Every single "evil" thing known has an easy way to turn it around into something understandable, or even good. Therefore, there is no Evil in the world. But wait! How could there not be any evil? It's pretty much an unwritten rule that Good cannot exist without Evil and vice versa.
How does society deem something "evil" when they cannot fully understand it? Is that not an evil thing in and of itself?
The main question I'm asking here (Also known as: Too long; Didn't read) is: How does/could society deem something they don't fully understand as something bad? What kind of standard things are considered bad in this day and age? Why?
