Good and Evil

sorry, i shoudnt be so touchy. i do appologise.
i feel that everyone is capable of evil and everyone is capable of good and its how we interpret that ability and what we do with it. but also what is good to you may be evil to me.

Exactly, it all comes down to definition which varies from person to person, society to society.

So evil is really just going against the individual's morals?

One arguement states that good and evil are a blueprint Of our being The chinese state that it is just the natural order of things.

Another arguement States That genictic engineering put the terms of right and wrong in us. And it is reiforced by Persuasion. and brute force esculation makes us accept rulers.

There is also we grow the knowledge throw pain, and happyness.

Another states it is justice or fairness that governs what is right and wrong.

There is an argument which I find interesting that evil is derived from good for example greed is showing you want to better yourself which is good but at the expensive of others is bad. Trying to get the truth is good but torchering someone for it is not.

I gave some examples of the opposition on which this thread is so far leaning. If anyone thinks one of these is a cool Idea feel free and try and argue it and see what happens.

like working for charity, so you can feel good about yourself, but is that really evil?

Its a cop out answer but i stick with nature nurture as to what we feel is good and evil.

Alot of times you are doing it to make you feel good and other times it is to improve what others think of you. It is not evil persay but it is always not in the best interest like to right off on your taxes, to get into a better school, To better what others may think of you. To show PRIDE in what you are doing. I guess what I am saying is alot of times your not working for a charity for the right reasons your doing it because you feel you need to for outside reasons that are not always the most benevolent

Kind of turning what could potentially be something good into something bad?

Does anyone ever do anything that is not to make themselves feel good?

Good point
