and is the bad really bad? how come you think you know what is good or bad? and is there an absolute good? or is the good something relative, beeing only good in the eyes of the spectator?

"Extrinsic or instrumental goodness depends for its existence upon some object, end or purpose which it serves. It derives its being from its service as an instrument in promoting or sustaining some more ultimate good and finally some ultimate or intrinsic good. It is good which is good for something. "
Good enough for you? I sure hope I was able to help you understand that "good" is by definition "good" when you pose your question as you did. That definition also answers all the other questions you ask here.

That's quite an excellent question... and you are making a perfect point. NO one can say this is right for you or this is wrong. Absolutely correct. And this is the very reason that some religious leaders have taught... Judge not, lest you be Judged.
Every person has to think on their own and find their own way... and that's all there is to it. Excellent question.

I'd say that 'good' is in the eye of the beholder; as is 'bad'.
The things that I consider 'good' come from the 'bad' things I've dealt with...I have something to compare good and bad with.

Those hops do feel good when you allow yourself to sink into the suds, don't they.
Ah, youth, ah alcoholic profundity. How sweet the endless hours without responsibility or consequence spent with sloppy people almost profound enough to respond to such gibberish.

Pleasure is good. Pain is bad. The rest is all just perspective.

What IS, is truth. The good and bad happen in mind....
Mind has no existence, unless it is given it by you.

The really good, can be very twisted, righteous, and hateful. They just hide it better than others do.
