Good vs. Evil Options

[*Kathleen*]

Do you think good and evil in the world balances out, or do you believe that one is more concentrated on Earth? I'll wait to speak my opinion once someone else does.

This is an interesting topic... i say that you cant truly weigh the good and evil in the world, because the good and evil is in everyone's heart, the battle between good and evil is ultimately decided in one's heart and mind, what we can do though, is look at what ppl have acted upon and how much good and evil actions there are.. and well.. i consider it a paradox too.. because when it comes down to it, there is no real "good" and "evil", there are onli actions taken by ppl acting upon their beliefs, and because our beliefs differ, we judge their actions as either "good" or "evil" and to them, they may see it completely differently..and.. and... gah... i was going somewhere with this.. but it slipped my mind!! dont you hate when that happens? well, i think i covered most of it

but personally i'd say there is actually more good in the world, because as human beings, we tend to focus on the evil and overemphasize it, overly publicize things, and the evil in the world is sticks so firmly in one's mind.. that we sometimes fail to notice or acknowledge the good in life, i mean.. there're so many good things in this world, so many ppl that do so many acts of kindness.. that sometimes.. we take it for granted.. i mean.. several thousand random acts of kindness sticks far less easily than 1 act of evil.. its how we are...

kinda like this quote i remember from english, "the evil that men do live after them but the good dies with their ashes" something like that, from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, but yeah.. the points there, and did I go a little overboard on this? my apologies
