The good and evil that you see don't even exist in reality, at least not outside of the mind that believes in them. They are only judgments passed by the individual from their own unique perspective.

I agree. That how the world is; there's good guys and bad guys. When I was young watching war films, I always assumed that the Germans and Japs were bad guys, it was not until I watched films like "Das Boot" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" that it really showed me that history is written by the victors. Because it wasn't until "Tora, Tora, Tora" that I actually knew WHY the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Pronganda said "Why do you want to piss off Japan when you can avoid it?" That never made sense to me. There had to have been a motive. And I'm not surprised at all that the said motive was removed from history books and never taught in school. That's why it is important to listen to the older generation. especially those that where there during critical turning point in history. That's seems like the only way to get the facts. To be honest, this world if F@$ked up. | I agree. That how the world is; there's good guys and bad guys.

The good and evil that you see don't even exist in reality, at least not outside of the mind that believes in them. They are only judgments passed by the individual from their own unique perspective. What one person sees as bad or evil may seem to be the only logical thing to do from some other perspective. The ideas of both good and evil are point of view specific. This is why people like Geroge W. Bush and Osama bin laden are either loved or hated. Bush was seen as good by people who shared his fear based thought system. Those who have a compassionate concern for all of mankind often saw him as evil. Bin laden was much the same. He was seen as a villain in much of the western world, but he was somewhat of a celebrated hero in certain parts of the Middle East. There were T-shirt shops that sold items with his picture as though he was Jesus. His demise was a reason for celebration in some circles and a reason for sadness in others. It all depends on your point of view or perspective. To sum it all up, good is the name we give to people who do things that we think we like. Evil is the name we give to people who do the things that we don’t like. This is of course based solely on our particular point of view.
RESPONSE
In response to that: you are wrong, evil does exist and while it is true most of the real world is shades of grey rather than "black and white" there are clear cases of universal evil that people dismiss due to arrogance, thinking their is no "evil" in the world. people who do not believe in evil have never seen the works of sociopaths and madmen who torture others for no reason other than self-satisfaction; Thrill Killing is an example of true evil, those who argue otherwise deluded themselves.
AGREEMENT
I agree. That how the world is; there's good guys and bad guys. When I was young watching war films, I always assumed that the Germans and Japs were bad guys, it was not until I watched films like "Das Boot" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" that it really showed me that history is written by the victors. Because it wasn't until "Tora, Tora, Tora" that I actually knew WHY the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Pronganda said "Why do you want to piss off Japan when you can avoid it?" That never made sense to me. There had to have been a motive. And I'm not surprised at all that the said motive was removed from history books and never taught in school. That's why it is important to listen to the older generation. especially those that where there during critical turning point in history. That's seems like the only way to get the facts. To be honest, this world if F@$ked up.
