Posts from Good and evil.

Exactly. And I: I follow the voice of Reason and the Bible (not Orthodoxy and Catholicism, but rather Protestantism, and only what does not contradict the Bible). You cannot follow your heart. To follow your heart, you need to have a pure soul, which, unfortunately, I do not have.
Perhaps the example is not relevant, but:
When I first encountered pornography (on a local network 4-5 years ago), I was shocked. It both attracted and repelled me; it was painful to watch, and I felt nauseous afterward! Nevertheless, later I changed my attitude towards it, but now I react either with interest or, in parallel, and only Reason tells me that it is Evil and does not suit my nature. It saves me. The heart is a flexible concept. Often, it is confused with intuition, impulses, passion, and desire. "Listen to what your heart tells you." The heart says: "Go, avenge your brother and kill." And reason politely reminds you of the law, of prison, of the grief you will bring to relatives. Those who follow impulses are unpredictable and inconsistent; you can expect anything from them, even betrayal.

All this is IMHO and my experience, ladies and gentlemen.

Everything is perfectly clear. You and many others believe that Good and Evil are not absolute, while some think they are. That's the whole point of the discussion.

It's not the heart telling him to seek revenge. Not at all. It's that notorious egoism, that part of the soul that everyone has, and it's far from being the best part. But you can't argue that you can do without it. We're just different people. My reason tells me to do everything for myself, not my heart. I don't live by impulses; I just didn't express myself well. I live with my soul. It's not very pure... well, to be honest, I don't really want to deal with such a mess. But it's precisely this that tells me how to live better without causing pain to anyone... sorry for the rambling, I've never been good at expressing what I feel in words.

Good? That's a positive action. One that brings benefit, but not to oneself.

I don't condone revenge, but I don't see selfishness in the desire to retaliate. A man's mother was killed, and he knows exactly who did it. The man loved his mother more than anyone, and besides, this woman was a doctor, not just any doctor – a surgeon, and every day she saved people's lives. The man is consumed by rage, hatred for the killer who not only deprived him of his mother but also many other people who needed the help of a wonderful doctor. After such a vile act, this killer has no right to exist; he MUST die! He must die for the deaths that occur in hospitals because of him! After all, in the whole city, only his mother was capable of performing heart surgeries! Why did he do it? WHY!? Killer!!! I hate him!!! I will find him!!! I will make him pay tenfold for my mother's blood!!!

That's how a vengeful person is born. If we speak in general...
