Is there a difference between good and bad, or is life just value judgment after value judgment?

Answer 1

Life is a series of value judgments. Most religions select a handful of these and paste a Good label on some and a Bad label on others.

Hinduism, however, takes a more realistic view of our earthly life. In the great War between Good and Evil, the outcome is always a draw, a tie - neither side prevails. Maybe this is why Hindus are more tolerant, even more accepting - live and let live. ;-)

Answer 2

The difference is in between. Good and bad are like the faces of a coin. They are opposite poles. This is our normal mentality. The super mentality is to go beyond the good and bad. Imagine that you are floating in the air and you can see the whole earth as a small ball.

Answer 3

If you are asking whether there is a perfect, clear-cut, always-applicable rule for right and wrong that will allow us all to walk through life never paying attention to our lives and never thinking about what is better or worse, then no, there isn't and I'm glad.
However, if humans ever finish their bickering over meaningless details, I think we could come up with a few points of universal morality based on what is good for humanity. Re: humans: it is good to survive if we are equipped for survival and it is bad to die prematurely. You could debate those, I suppose.

Answer 4

Nietzsche: from "Beyond Good and Evil"
aphorism 108:
there are no moral phenomena at all, but only a moral interpretation of phenomena-
aphorism 153:
Whatever is done from love always occurs beyond good and evil

there are many such views under different philosophical premises....

theologically, refer to the word "theodicy"

Answer 5

Good and Bad are defined by values. So yes, there is a difference, but it is not defined by one person or society.
