Not really, because if we didn't know what is evil, how would we know what is good? There would be no comparison and therefore good would be just what everything is.

No they both depend upon each other. What we think evil is our mind's conclusion which is prejudiced by our mental evolution, our circumstances, our education and our environment.
So taking a thing evil is in fact a game of mind. There is nothing evil.
Evil is which was good once, or will be good one day, it is an imperfection, a disease
Good is also mind's choice
When we get out of the dualities of good and evil, we are really enlightened

no, you cant have good without evil, good and evil need each other to exist without evil there would be no measure as to say what good is and vice versa, the point isnt to b pure good, but to find the balance between both good and evil, there are very rarely extremes of the both.

Yes it is and soon will happen.
Mat 13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
Mat 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
Mat 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
Mat 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
Mat 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Mat 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
There's no precedent in God's Word.

you look slightly focussed on your concept of organic goodness and organic evil. Goodness is a perception you have approximately an journey or taking place, organic evil is a perception you have approximately an journey or taking place. What you perceive as solid, might desire to be conceived as evil by utilising somebody else, for example you're able to think of the Taliban in Afghanistan are Evil, they might think of the western invaders are Evil. you've got your the rationalization why you're suitable , as do they. yet someones innovations do no longer lead them to authentic, they simply classify them to your self as you perceive them. additionally relative solid and undesirable (Evil?) exist, if basically to coach the assessment...how are you able to be attentive to what happiness is, in case you have on no account been unhappy? How satisfied you're can basically be measured against the type you have been presently. in case you have been particularly unhappy each week in the past, you may sense very pleased now, yet once you have been satisfied final week, you may sense satisfied or sadder than earlier yet your modern-day situation demands some thing to be measured against. Even heat water looks cooler once you get used to it.

Goodness usually comes out of evil. Always has. Check history.

Yes, because goodness is a lack of evil, but if there is no evil then you cannot have goodness, everything is simply the same.

Good and evil wouldn't exist without each other. With out evil there is no good and vice versa. If no one was cruel, no one would be considered kind because they wouldn't be anything to compare kindness to.

Man is flesh & we sin. No evil would be impossible in this world we live in now. However, there will be no sin & no evil in the paradise that God has planed for us. A world of love & peace sounds pretty awsome to me.

Sometimes "evil" things can be good, and "good" things can be evil.
Personally I take resposibilities for my own actions, I don't believe in good and evil. Things are just the way they are.

like the bible and other religious writings will tell you, there is good and evil in all of us, no matter how much we try to not have any evil in us, it is there to keep us honest and alive so we will not become complacent in out lives, and its a test too i think.
what a boring life we would have i guess with out a daily struggle for good, think about it.
