Do you believe that this world consists of more good or more evil?

Question

An equal amount? Something else?

Just curious....

I guess the question should have read: "Do you believe that good and/or evil exist in the world and if so, how do you think it is divided among people?" Or something like that.

I'm not saying I do or don't. I was curious to see what others thought.

Answer 1

silly, in nature there is no such idea as good & evil, what is
is the way of human nature, there will never be a world peace
because the human animal is as such.................
humans think of good & evil because language dictates
the direction of ideas as good & evil when in fact good & evil
are nothing more than trying to except a false expression of
what is right or wrong, language creates the idiom of balance
when in actual fact this mechanism is the measure of thought
instead of instincts and intuition, the human animal thinks too much,
and look where it has taken the human animal,
right where it belongs in the natural sense of being human as
sad and tragic as it all seems.........
all the good and evil is as natural as apple pie & a good lay
in the hay..........

Answer 2

Everything has both good and evil. Without one, we could not have the other. It's a two way street. It depends on the person, if they allow more of one or the other in their life.

Sadly enough, in this life I think we have way too much Evil. The reason is there is not enough Good people to help out-way the Bad.

And way to many hypocrites that think just because they go to church on Sunday that means they are 'good". It's really sad to see how many "god-loving" people are molesting children and intentionally hurting others. This has become a sad world!

Answer 3

Not everyone will define good and evil in the same way. so first I suppose you have to decide what you believe is good and what is evil. For instance, some people will believe that female circumcision is an evil practice, others see it as cultural.

However, over all I believe the world consists of more good. That is why we are outraged by the evil we see. Because, our expectation is that our experiences will be good. We expect order. Even in places were life is outrageously harsh and they have suffered through a series of brutal dictators or genocidal act, they still expect good. They are still outraged by evil. Evil is never seen as common place, where as good is expected. Judging by our reaction to good and evil I tend to think there is more good.

look again into historic previous, and also you may want to work out, that it has always been a international of suffering, evil , etc....yet besides a international of affection, and delight. If all women human beings felt as you probably did, there might want to be no human beings in the international....sarcastically, there might want to be women human beings to experience as you do, because they does no longer be born interior the first position. There are places the position there is sturdy, and the position human beings stay ok, without to a lot crime, or corruption. For the most area, lots of the international is predominantly, sturdy. We see the undesirable, because it really is broadcast all around the information, on television. So it variety of feels, that undesirable is the following, and robust is lengthy previous. yet force down a street and be conscious what number undesirable belongings you be conscious. what number of human beings delieberatly attempt to run over you, or attempt to run you off the line? no longer many. And in case you supply up for lunch, you eat in convenience lots of the time. particular, there are circumstances even as evil human beings pop up and make existence insufferable.... like going right into a eating position and taking pictures human beings. yet as many places as I have stopped, I have not in any respect had that venture.. So this is not as if it change into an ongoing element. What you say, is that because some terrorists pass round terrorizing the international, ALL Muslims might want to then be undesirable. this isn't any longer so. and because some clergymen molest boys, ALL clergymen are undesirable....this isn't any longer so. and because there is crime interior the undesirable community of a city, that does no longer make something of the city undesirable. i does no longer deny my children the potential to stay....this is an honor and if raised top and taught top, they are going to do ok. there are quite some couples accessible, who undertake because they could't have children of their very own, and they nevertheless pick children. regrettably, they're incapable of having their very own. keep in ideas, by potential of eliminating those who can do sturdy, and convey sturdy into this international, you're making an area the position in uncomplicated words EVIL can live. Who is conscious, perchance your newborn might want to have become President of us of a and can want to have finished a tremendous variety of sturdy... you imagine?

Answer 5

Man is the measure of everything. Good and Evil are human inventions. Neither one nor the other exists except in our minds.

Answer 6

I fail to believe that everything in this world - or the universe - can be divided into only two convenient pigeon holes. There are creations (or entities, if you prefer) that are simply benign; neither good nor evil.

Answer 7

I've always liked this way of looking at good and evil...

If good is represented by the light and evil is the shadows, there can not be shadows without the light.

Answer 8

For every good, there is evil, and vice versa. If one is less in quantity (although both are un-measurable) than the other, there will be an imbalance in the world.

Answer 9

There is no good or evil in fact, just stupid human tricks and opinions and many, many silent observers.

There are only creative or destructive intentions, for the benefit of one or many, in the realm we call ethics.

Answer 10

Good and Evil are just we percieve things, which in that case, there is much more evil.
