Does Right Always Win Over Evil?

Not immediately, but over time it eventually does.

For example, slavery existed and persevered for a long time, but ultimately it was defeated. The same can be said for Nazi Germany and Communism. It may take a long time, but eventually the good eventually wins out.

Unless you're a Cubs fan...

Because things end, that's why. Even if Hitler had won the war, there's no way that the Third Reich would have lasted forever. That's the way of things; people change, ideas change, nations change. And once the Reich fell apart, people would interpret that as 'good coming out of evil'. Remember, Germany was no better or worse a country than any other before the rise of the Nazis. In this, I could easily assert that evil arises from good (or at least neutral). But it's just the fact that times change, and not always for the better. Also take a look at some countries that have been in periods of civil war for decades. Pretty sure you're going to have a hard time convincing them that good always triumphs over evil. But eventually, the troubles they're having will subside. It might take a long time to happen, but it inevitably will. This doesn't mean that good has 'won', but more that evil's turn is over and good can last awhile, before once more succumbing to evil somewhere down the line. In short, good 'wins' from evil because you choose to interpret it that way.

I'm afraid not, especially if evil is bankrolling a talented lawyer.

In the long run, things tend to even out in favor of the good guys, but that doesn't protect you from being blindsided by the bad guys, and it can be really hard to recover. Being good does give you an advantage during the recovery, you're much more likely to have a contingent of friends that are willing to help dig you out of the pit you just got knocked into.
Recovery is also easier if you don't dwell on how terrible things are. I focus on what I can learn from the experience, and use the lesson to avoid similar problems in the future.

Right and Wrong and Good and Evil are subjective and objective things. One can believe they exist, and other believe there is no such thing. But in general. bad things happen to good people all the time. And life is unfair. So you can say that no, right doesnt always win over evil.

This has not always been the case for this "unholy world." Nevertheless, God will reward those who desire to follow his Will. Thus, good will win over evil. Remember this, What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? - Romans 8:31. The Lord daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. - Psalm 68:19. Peace and God Bless.

What is right? and what is evil?

Saving a cute little bunny from being eaten by an eagle is right? or is it evil since the eagle will not be able to feed it's chicks?

Starting a war in the name of a God is right? or is it evil?

I guess in the long run, nature finds a way of making things even.

In the short term, no. In the long term yes. It may appear that evil has prevailed for a time, but what is right will always stand firm. What is evil will be blown away like a fart in the wind.

There is a balance there is never a winner its an ongoing war till the end of time. And if world peace was real there would be no more need for humans because then there would be no more progress although we do not like to admit it we need bad thing to happen to us so the good can shine out.

Only in the movies, unfortunately a lot of the evil ones have the power and money. They can usually buy their way out of trouble just look at hollywood.

Ya, because good people do things the right way and evil people do things the wrong way... so if you're gonna get anything done? May as well do it right.
