I didn't used to believe in good and evil. What was, was.

I'm changing my views these days although I'm still not sure I'm the best to define these things.

Right now I'm just working on doing things I can live with.

All that anyone can ask for, or do.

I respectfully disagree. It's a start, I suppose but more can be asked and often is. More can be done, and often is.

There are many things I can live with. Both in myself and in others. I hold myself to a higher standard than just being able to live with my actions and choices. I think that many do, even when they don't realize it.

And anytime that disappointment is expressed at anothers behavior, there was an expectation that was not met. Even if not voiced, more was asked of the person involved.

We sometimes fall short of our expectations of ourselves. We sometimes fall short of the expectations of others. The important thing is to try again and again until we get it right.

here is something my father told me, before I was fostered. Evil is a kind of extreme selfishness. it can not see any thing buatul or valuable for there artistic marret. they are all things to be posed of possible destroyed if not to keep any one else form owning the item.

as for all of our actions even the best actions can have unintended consonances. Ever action courses a reaction.

so when faced with a decision a man looks at the best information he can. and he tries to make the best decision possible. and he lives with the consonances of his decisions, right or wrong every day for the rest of his life

I have a deep, intimate, and passionate loving relationship with the English language. We love the things we love, however, when we love their flaws.

English simply does not have adequate terminology for these concepts. This is a good example. I never cared for "good" as an appositive to "evil". It seems to me that "good" describes a pasta dinner with a nice vintage of wine, not the opposite of a serial killer-cult leader-werepig. I prefer to use the term "heroic".

Good and evil are hard to define and we have been trying to do so since the time of the great Greek pholisaphers. so I guess I will make a try

on of the best ways to define evil I have ever heard is, that evil is and extreme selfishness. Evil can not look at any thing buitful or rear or Valuable and aprestat it for the sake of its workmen ship, or its buity. The only see something and want to posses it for them selves and not to share it with others. if they can not have it for them selves they would rather destroy it so that no one else can have it...

Evil can also be defined as any misfortune that befalls you.. you fall down the stares and brake your leg you have suffered an evil. War is an example of an evil..

good, well it can be seen in random acts of kindness. The boy scout helping an old lady to cress the street, taking time to listen to a friend when hes having problems at home.

I think evil acts are just about any thing you do not want someone to do to you.
and good acts would be just about any thing you do want some one to do to you
