Moral authority has been laid to rest, world opinion is no more than a game show and the difference between good and evil is about as relevant as changing channels.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I tend to think that good and evil exist and that the quantity in each of us is unchangeable. The moral character of people is set, fixed until death.
Moral evil is the immorality and pain and suffering and tragedy that come because we choose to be selfish, arrogant, uncaring, hateful and abusive.
We are coming out of a century that was taught that one way of looking at the world, that one form of behavior, is as valid as another. The idea of true evil has been blown away.
I don't think good and evil are polarized.
Good is positive. Evil is merely privative, not absolute: it is like cold, which is the privation of heat. All evil is so much death or nonentity. Benevolence is absolute and real. So much benevolence as a man hath, so much life hath he.
People's character is their behaviour - we're all capable of good and evil.
I've learned a lot about good and evil. They are not always what they appear to be.
In the real world in which we live, you always have to choose between evils. And in choosing between evils, you have to have moral criteria for how to make those choices.
Sometimes the right response to evil is an appeal to powerful and effective social organization - an appeal to civilization itself.
Evil is a source of moral intelligence in the sense that we need to learn from our shadow, from our dark side, in order to be good.
