Disagree. There is definite good and bad. And no one has to be told what it is. Everyone feels when they have done either of the two. Even clinically insane murderers.
I saw an experiment where a so called sane person, was cruel enough to continue shocking a human (who was actually a voice actor behind a curtain) simply because theee guy in the lab coat told him too. He said it would help in his treatment. And the actor was really screaming like he was frying.
They brought in a "mentally insane" person and the refused to go any higher after the 4th or 5th jolt. Every last one of them stopped before the "sane" people did. So yes, there is definite good and bad.
Bonus Info: DON'T TRUST GUYS IN LAB COATS!!!!!! lol

Many people seem to regard evil is a 'thing'... something that has some form of corporeal existence in the physical universe. In that sense, evil does NOT exist.
Evil 'exists' only as an abstract concept... one that is 'dualistic' in nature. 'Evil' cannot 'exist' without 'good'. They are the two sides of the same coin, in the Yin/Yang sense. One cannot 'exist' without the other; neither can be defined or described except in terms of the other.
Good/evil is further abstracted in the sense that it represents a 'judgement'... not a 'thing'. As a judgement, good/evil is wholly subjective, since it relies entirely upon the 'criteria' that is employed in making the judgement.
So, the real issue is not good/evil per se... rather it is the criteria that people use in making their judgements of good/evil.
Since we are pretty much all wired the same, and share pretty much the same cultural values in a larger sense, we usually find ourselves on common ground when we judge questions such as "Was Hitler evil?", since we can agree on the criteria. However, we should realize that if Hitler had been asked the question "Are you evil?", he most certainly would have been thoroughly offended by the very idea. According to HIS criteria, he would have seen his actions as good, for his people and for 'The Fatherland'.
When we get down to subtler questions, where someone's 'criteria' might depend upon interpretation of a particular bible verse, for example, these kinds of judgements can get a little stickier.
Remember, though... it's not really about good/evil, it's really about criteria... which ultimately comes down to one's moral compass.

Agree, on the point that there is no difference, it just depends on which side your standing on; at least it is that way until you ascend to a higher dimension where karma and good and evil have no sway!

Perfectly correct !
Classifying ten things as bad allows one thing good by comparison.
Instead, find out what is suitable to do in the situation, do it.

Man is a rational animal and that is what seperates him from animals and thinking is the base of existence .
