Good and evil are nothing more than abstract labels or rather abstract thought-shortcuts. We all try to give meaning to something which relates exclusively to the subjective feelings and is not universal (or perpetual).
In one culture, something completely innocent (a good deed) is an insult (an evil deed) in the other one. So how do we explain this two words ? How do we define good and evil ?
First of all we observe their symbolic opposition (one to another) and their need for coexistence. One of them does not exist without the other. One of them is the background for the other one.
But what about the accuracy of description ? There is none. This matter is too subjective...
People ask themselves whether they are good or bad. But there is no answer for that. The same deed may be good or evil depending the context. So everyone can be considered a bad or good, depending on the evaluators. Becouse what is good for us can be bad for the others (and vice versa).
