Posts from Good and evil.

I believe that good gives life, while evil takes it away. What do you think?

Good begets good, and evil begets evil. They have a balance. It's not for nothing that there is "Yin-Yang":)

Evil is just what opposes good. Everything is relative%))

Good gives good, and evil equals evil. They have a balance. That's why there's "Yin-Yang":)

And also Yin-Crap;)

"Yin-Yang" is not good versus evil, but rather the ascending (firm) and descending (soft) components of existence. As for good and evil... well, what can I say? Everything in the world is relative, and the world is not so much black and white as it is simply in shades.

it depends on the person and how much good or evil they possess. I can't call myself good, but people say I'm kind and too trusting. It can't be said that Yin-Yang doesn't relate to this, as in ancient China, it represented good and evil. Of course, I want there to be more good people, but wanting isn't enough; you have to strive for it, set an example, be polite, and avoid swearing. Of course, I'm not an angel; I swear sometimes, but I still try to do it as little as possible.

Darkness is merely the absence of Light.
Light is merely the absence of Darkness.
"I am part of that power which eternally wills evil and eternally works good" (Goethe, Faust).
We live in a colorful world, but the author tries to judge it in black and white terms (although even in this scale, there is gray). In life, everything is much more complex, because the concepts of Good and Evil are not absolute; each person has their own understanding of good and evil (what a Russian finds enjoyable, a Chinese person might find unappealing – a crude but fair comparison). In some African tribes, practices are common that are considered absolutely unacceptable in the "civilized" world (obligatory incest or homosexual relations as an element of initiation, cannibalism, ritual killings – yes, gentlemen, all this still exists today). Damn, as always, I end up rambling: I have too much to say, so I jump from one thought to another. The point is that it is impossible to define Good and Evil; the concepts are too global, comprehensive, and ambiguous. And even a seemingly unambiguously good deed can, under certain circumstances, lead to Evil (and vice versa). So let's not try to define the indefinable. An example of a level 2*2 creature is Agrail (Raeleth), a demon of dark elf origin. Can you classify him as good or evil? I can't; he has both. And it's always like that; there are no pure colors in nature, and even sunlight is a mixture of all possible colors and shades.

Personally, I can distinguish between black and white.
Even at this age.
Because I researched this topic, but not by my own choice. And then I became interested.:)
Personally, for me, the world has long been divided into four colors: white for good, black for evil, colorless for undefined, and gray for neutrality. You can divide anything this way. You just need to analyze everything well.:rolleyes:
And everything will become clear.
Any event, person, or thing can be attributed to good, evil, etc.

Rider, you clearly have a way of thinking that is typical of people your age (maybe even mine too). But here's the question... tell me, Rider, is an axe a tool of Good or Evil? I believe that the presence of Evil is what allows us to see Good. Any event and any person should be considered not in the abstract, but situationally. Walter has an example of this... I don't remember the name of the story... briefly, a traveler stole a golden plate from a kind host, gave it to an unfriendly one, and killed a boy. His companion asked who he was, and it turned out to be an angel... he explained that the first host was too careless and would have been killed someday, the second was too suspicious and would have lost everything someday because of

But this is just a story. In real life, everything is clearer. As for the axe, it needs to be analyzed, considering who is wielding it and how it is being used. From this single axe, based on its use, one can judge the owner and the object itself. But a simple, abstract axe is neutral. Tengro, you seem to be craving attention. I already wrote about 4 variations. And not just good and evil. But I'm not a botanist. I won't sit and analyze nonsense like abstract axes. I only use this technique in real-life situations. Truly complex and confusing ones. When it's really necessary to think, and not waste time with trivialities.

There is much more good in the world than evil. Evil is simply more noticeable, like a black spot on a white tablecloth.

No :) The thing is, evil is the same for everyone, but good is different for everyone...

There is no absolute good and no absolute evil. It all depends on the specific situation. Good breeds evil, and evil breeds good. The path to happiness is paved with corpses, and war breeds heroism. And neither will ever truly win.
I believe that using these terms is generally inappropriate. It's better to talk specifically about the facts, without making judgments.

Gentlemen. In our time, there is no one who is purely good or purely evil. Everyone has done both good and bad things in their life.

Good and evil exist only in a person in relation to the world and to himself.
The world is a blank white sheet, and everyone paints a picture of their life on it with the shades and colors they like, but in the end, it still turns out to be Kazimir Malevich's "Black Square" (because it is known that he painted an ordinary picture, and then took it and covered it with the famous black square). The Black Square is Divine Darkness, behind which any picture of a person's life is hidden.

As it was said in a good book: "Evil is born from Good, and Good from Evil, and as long as one of them exists, the other will too..." Of course, the quote isn't entirely accurate, but the meaning is the same...
