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.

"good" and "evil" as we know it only exist because humans exist. Cheating, stealing, murder, rape - they're just normal everyday occurences for the natural world, where survival is the only aim. It is only when it comes to intelligent beings like humans when things start to get classified as "right" or "wrong".
I don't know how to quantify "good" or "evil". Is a man sacrificing his own life to save a drowning kid more or less "good" than the "evil" behind the September 11 incident for example? What do you mean by "balancing out"? |

It is only when it comes to intelligent beings like humans when things start to get classified as "right" or "wrong". Took the words right out of my mouth. Every human has their own defintion of good and evil. One person may think that one thing is good, while another may think it is evil. Because there is no common consensus on what is good and what is evil, how could we ever know if there is a balance? |
