There are such things. It's called perspective and social norms. Anything that takes away power from the "good" perspective is deemed to be evil by comparison.
With your question you are seeking power. Best of luck to you.
There is such a thing as good and evil, but you now know why people with power should look at things in terms of good and evil.

Aren't good and evil man- made terms? The society you live in determines what good and evil acts are. There are generally evil things like murder that are held as evil all over the world, but there are other acts like cannabalism (eww), which some societys still do and its not considered evil. Same goes for good acts. As for power, sometimes a good act can get you power, other times, it can't that is relative too.

Incorrect, there is such a thing as good and evil. Go to the back of the class.

There is such thing as good and evil - it is determined by the society you live in. In nature there is no good or evil and power determines your survival.

Respectfully disagree. Good & Evil are human values judgments.
When humans evolved the ability to understand the Golden Rule, evil was born.
Animals that kill the offspring of their rivals are not evil. They don't have the capacity to distingush right from wrong.

I fully believe in good and I know there is evil out there. I see good all the time. The evil seems to make the news more than the good. That devil is very clever.

You're right but everything is partly good and partly bad. What I mean is that everything gives pleasure and sorrow at the same time but we have to see what outweigh what. If there is more pleasure then the thing is good but if more sorrow its bad and most of all it applies to not only one person involved in the thing but everybody related to it.
