Good and evil

[Rhys]

What is good and what is evil?

There is often talk about good or evil, and most times there terms are used very superficial, like angels are good and demons must be evil. Now i want to know how you think about that.

Is there anything like good or evil in general?
Some kinds of magic?
Specific beings?

Are some things naturally evil, or do they just turn into something evil?

Good and evil – for me just words..

I think it’s all having the same background, impossible to separate. This “definitions” just result because of various aspects and different views on the same thing, that we can't see as a whole..

[Asariel]

good and evil....

Words defined and implemented by humanity.... It's just a way to explain causes, they can't really understand, yet no one is able to look at the cause, which they just determined with a meaning, in an objective manner...

while one person might see all the goods in something, the other one will shout it evil... will try everything to get rid of the situation, or the cause which handles it...

Already the bible has taught humanity what they should know about this matter, humans ain't more than ants in this matter, and many more... They follow the most easiest way trying to reach their goal, no need to think deeper about this matter, no need to think of manipulation, what has been said, must be right...

But at the end, its not a devils work, which leads us or others, to go their way... No god playing a game with thee... It's us managing situations suitable, or less suitable and its our instinct, our deep self, judging the way, we need to handle it...

good and evil are only perceptions of a thing. if i kill someone in self defense (because for me, that person is evil), i might take the father away from a family, who would then regard me as evil. and that is only one example.

generally, our society perceives selfish behavior and a lack of compassion as evil. but what if you aren't aware of the selfishness in an act? or of the pain you cause?

...that is why i believe that there is no total "good" or "evil", thus it's stupid to say a demon is evil, because there is no evil. but that's another topic, i guess...
