Only if someone bases their subjective perception of evil or good upon one's characteristics.
That is how religions can have absolutes in evil and good, the philosophical equivalent of a "Texas Sharpshooter" fallacy.

A n evil person may prosper because he possesses the virtue of hard work while a good person is in poverty because they suffer the vice of laziness.

As long as one exists, one is good on the level of ontology. One might commit evil acts, but these actions can always be distinquished from one's essential nature.

No. You can't truly know what it means to be "good" unless you've done something bad. Besides, sometimes you have to do something bad in order to do something good. Does that make any form of sense?

I don't believe so. However, some people can be completely useless for anything other than misery.
