Both are valid choices

Which one do you choose and can you define either?

I think there is a thread on this in the philosphy section.

Good=Positive, unselfish actions.

Evil=Negative, or selfish actions.

I Disagree, Evilacts can serve an ultimately good purpose or outcome.

Examples?

EXAMPLES?

Well the Nazis acts were evil but they united the people of Europe for a short time against them.

That does not make a "Negative" a "Positive"....

no but from the Nazi point of view they were able to justify there actions as not evil

So do you think tha Nazis could not justify their actions as anything but evil then?

Hitler had Sylphs(sp?)....and he was selfish in his actions....Their followers were sheep, or even terrified in not going along...and Hitler did it the right way....He started them out young, taking kids out of the house holds and enrolling them in his schools....My relative were in Italy...You know Mussolini....They moved to the US at that time...Others moved to Argentina.

They became so poor, the people there....some died from eating cherry pits just to get some food in their stomachs....It was sad.

good can come from evil - as the day must follow the night

The only thing good that could come from it is that we know now what evil is, what sheep are even , and the knowledge of not letting it happen again...though seems people forget the lessons of the past....

Good!

But is my good the same as your good?
If not, would my choice be evil to you?

Good and evil no not exist outside of a cultural framework.

Are you sure about this

Good and evil are similar to religion

It's easy to be evil and sin your heart out , after all evil gives you pleasure beyond your wildest dreams

Whereas good is boring and difficult . You have to set your mind and body to a set of rules and always stick by them.

evil is good......I mean come on what good is a sunny day if it never rains? Anyway Eddie Murphy did a whole piece on this in Vampire in Brooklyn craptastic movie but 1 great scene

Good and Evil have to exist together as a measure of for instance human behaviour..........now if we got rid of those 2 words what would happen would behaviours change? Nope however new words would be created to describe.

You're talking about polarities that exist...

Yes, anything is life that has two aspects are truly one thing. We break them down and define them within a culture. Example, until the early 20th century there was a place in Ethiopia that had no contact with the outside world. These people lived in a desert environment with limited resources. In their culture it was mandatory for a young man to kill another man from another tribe before they could marry. In our culture killing is evil, in their culture killing was good, because by killing each other they kept the population in check and the entire culture survived in a hostile environment.
