good and evil?

Question

who would agree that the main difference between good and evil is forgiveness?If you dont think that what do you think the main difference is?

Answer 1

No. Are you saying that good is evil that's been forgiven? That doesn't even make sense.

Good and evil are just judgements by people of others. There's no inherent characteristic that one can measure as "good" or "evil" in the same way we can measure how blue or red something is. And something can be good from one perspective but evil from another perspective, at the same time. It is just a measure of value we give to various characteristics of people, people's actions, and other things.

Answer 2

I dont really think good or evil exist... i guess I view human decisions as either self serving or philanthropic.

Every decision one makes can be catagerized one of these ways.

The terms good & evil insinuate that what someone does or doesnt do is based on pure energy from an outside source (god, satan, etc) while I see my catagories more in line with the actual evidence behind human behavior, genetics & psychology.

Plus, people can make decisions they perceive to be philanthropic & end up doing harm to many people (example: Hitler thought he cold help the germans by exterminating the jews, taking over the world... etc)

Good & evil take away blame. Which is why the terms are ever so popular. But they have no actual basis in real life.

Answer 3

I don't think there is any difference. They can mean the same thing at any given moment. It is who decides what is good and evil that makes the difference.

Answer 4

they say there are 3 stages and another stage where it's all 3 and more...

so basically the first stage is being able to say sorry. many people think it "lowers their rep" but really it shows their nobility, the good in them.

the second stage is showing your love to the people you care about.

the third stage is being true to yourself, not lying and being able to FORGIVE. forgiveness is the hardest thing to do and therefore it shows courage and nobility.

if you have all 3 traits, you are in the 4th stage-FAITH.


personally i think that these three stages are the main differance.. if you are bad you lie, you are not true to yourself, you don't show love, you don't appologise (shows pride/arrogance), and you don't forgive...

being good is possessing these traits.. if not all then at least some..so some nobility will be in you. to me that's what's being good is all about=being noble.

Answer 5

There is no such thing as good and evil, it's just something based on the human world. If you do something people think is bad your bad, if you do something which people think is good your good.
