As I see it "the good" has taken a stance where its victory is ALMOST certain. It has taken a considerable lead against evil in the world.

Due to this the evils have suddenly staged up their resistance to astronomical proportions. So to make this delay of the victory of "good" against "evils" a short one I feel that all good forces of the world should forget their differences for the time being and unite. If this happens then this uncertain transitory phase will be a short one and the victory guaranteed for the "good".

Do others also feel the same or reciprocate similar thoughts, feelings and ideas ?

Hi,

Some people have asked for more explanations.

Here I am not branding any person or people as "good" or "bad".

It is this inherent quality called goodness and badness ? that is prevalent in the world - that's what I am taking about.

What is good ? - That which is not bad.

What is bad ? - there are certain things that are really "bad". There are things like poverty, hunger, treachery, bribery, illness, violence, injustice, swindling others beyond limit, slavery or trying to make others one's physical or mental slaves etc. Aren't these things bad ? Most will agree that in this list most things are "bad". If someone has major objection to this then I think that person is playing from the sides of evils.

I hope this helps clarify the question.

Thanks gals and guys for your answers in advance.

And yes Smarties, you are right.

The reasons why you don't like the way things are in the world is due this bad quality or evils.

That's exacty what the struggle of "good" and "evil" is. The purpose of the victory of good against evil is for people of the world to lead a better and happier life. The way for them so that they would like the way the things are in the world after the victory of "goo" against "evil" (bad or too bad forces)

And yes WikiJo by stance of "good" I mean things like : the lead it has taken against evils, the planning and its strategy in this fight against evils etc.

And the reason things have become really bad in the recent past is probably due to the "highly increased resistance" of evils that they have mounted.

So this is a transitory period of war between "good" and "evil" and that can be reduced (length of this period) by an early victory of "good" against "evil".

One thing is certain that "evil" will lose.
It is now up to the good forces to make this victory sooner or later. Sooner the better I think.

Yes Canadianhumor, you are right.

There will not be a victory where either only good or only evil will exist. That is not possible, I agree. But the by "victory" of good I just mean the very balance you are talking about. A balance that will tilt in Good's favor decisively.

Naturally you would like to see good things like justice, freedom, love and not hatred, communications and not violence, free world and not slavery etc. etc.

If evils win this war that the wolrd can become much worse place to live than it is today.

I hope I am able to explain the concepts of my questions to the readers.

I think people must certainly work to improve the lives of others, and pursue that which is just and True.

Your question seems to imply a superheroic conquering of all evil, which I don't think is possible. Everything exists within a balance, and it is through knowing evil that we know good. Still, we cannot let evil sit.

A very good question.

If what is good = that which is not bad, then everything is bad because no one is entirely good! Even if a portion of "good" in a person were available to unite with the portion of "good" in another person and fight against "evil", the portion of good available would be smaller than the portion of evil available. That would mean that "evil" is winning. Uh-oh, no victory is guaranteed unless there is some outside force of good willing to intervene on our behalf.

They were not struggling with for Islam nor representing MUSLIMS. The so referred to as "Islamic extremists" or terrorists were not something more effective than self interest persons who idea they could get their dirty organizations by utilising Islam and produce different chance free Muslims with them to strive against. a real Muslim struggling with in Jihad does not run away. If this became a real Jihad for Allah's reason, believe me they might'VE not RAN from the conflict field to commence with. in the adventure that they ran a way, BINGO!. That obviously tells you concern became of their heart and not in any respect ALLAH and the best reason to strive against. heritage does not LIE, continually smaller type of Muslim armies USED TO DEFEAT the crusader forces. Salahudeen (Saladin) Ayubi became a good party. the guy not in any respect fled the conflict floor like Bin weighted down did. particularly, the performed politics and pressure at the same time to regain Jerusalem. even as Muslims see the want for a actual Jihad, they comprehend what their responsibilities are. No it isn't a suicide bombing. it really is hand at hand conflict, if not head to head, if not diplomatic warfare etc. The Muslim international is attempting to stay like each and all of us else and want to get rid of the so referred to as "Muslim extremists", they are bunch of cowards, misrepresenting Islam and the Muslims. seem what they have achieved to Afghanistan, seem what they are at present doing in Somalia, can't even enable a transitional authorities get by. Who cares if the transitional authorities is a puppet of the West, a minimum of there'll be authority you'd be able to challenge and modify if it doesn't artwork for everyone. straight forward. provide peace a chance.

Yes I feel that now Good has to stand up against Evil. But for a while around the world good men have done nothing so that evil would triumph. Evil is what is called evil in the Bible. Good is those who choose to do the right thing. In my oppinion our true enemy is the Devil. The Islamics are truely not our enemy but if they attack us then we have full right to attack them. But Yes I would say that we need to make a stand once and for all to let the world know that good still exists.

I disagree. I dont believe that good can 'win' against evil, or the other way around.
You're talking about ideas that cannot be measured. What is good or evil is completely subjective, and will differ from person to person.

What is needed is not for 'good' to be victorious. What is needed is for there to be BALANCE between the two. Everything in the universe must be balanced, or else it will topple and be destroyed.

What is life without death? What is heat without cold? or Love without hate?
Things lose their meaning if they dont have an opposite.

Well, it depends on whom you are considering good and whom evil! I don't think we can all agree one group is good and the other bad. All I can say that I don't like what is happening in the world! And if one day they find a way for people to live in a distant planet, I will definitely move there!

Yes.
Let everyone who is capable of love unite against those who hate... kill others , tell their own children to blow themselves up and kill indiscriminately, so they will " go to heaven; and , meet a perfect woman there , ( there are beautiful women here ) So go blow yourself up where there are many innocent people so you can kill them and form god's perfect Islamic world ... WHAT ? ... Gods perfect world has no hatred in it. They have no understanding of God at all !

Islam is being destroyed by terror and God will bring terrorists down, into the hell they think is heaven ... they are martyrs of the devil and have nothing to do with God.... Mohamed is ashamed to see His religion so misunderstood that his own followers would destroy everything He meant.

He meant brotherhood and He meant love for all.

If you don't know that you can't be a part of Islam ...false
( Osama) prophets are not at all holy.

Yes, my friend it is time for all Muslims to stand up for Mohamed and get rid of the infidels in their midst ... they call themselves a part of you ... but they are just fanatic infidels who cause the rest of the world to look down on you.

And. they kill your own children by telling them that they will go to heaven and be remembered as martyrs here on earth ... for five minutes in the news.

Stupid ... stupid ... stupid ... turn in Osama ... Now.
Don't have to give him to the U.S just kill the devil.

Yes, this is the time for all the good forces to unite... including Islamic good forces to stop murder by thier own stupidest people.

God is angry ... Muslems must do something, or Islam will be discredited forever.

Liked your question .. it got me going.

Thanks;
Jonnie
PS You're right... evil won't win !

Ever think that what you consider good another person my consider evil. So no conflict will always exist until people realize good and evil are just words and the conflict is simply over an indifference of interest.

This war has been waged for ages,the reason it is escalating is because good men of all religions fail to realize we must first conquer our own lower nature . then the battle will have been won. First find unconditional love in your own heart,then "see" you enemy in your minds eye,kiss him on the cheek and tell him "I pray you will find in your heart the same Peace an unconditional love of God that I have found. Do that with all who are insane with fear,anger and hate. Unconditional love is the only weapon that will be effective.

A priori problems with the question prevent a cogent response.
Good, evil, stance, victory ?
Common language is required (& missing) I suspect.
