Emily Crum: Assignment 3

I do not believe in absolute good and evil. Good people do occasionally do evil things on a minor scale. Evil people, like Jeffrey Dahmer, can still have done a couple of good things in their lives. I believe that good and evil is a spectrum with mostly grey   areas except for at the very ends. I believe that people can evil things with good intentions and that they can do good things with evil or self-serving intentions. I'm not sure if good and evil actually need to exist, but they do. As long as there is a balance between good and evil, the world will be fine. I don't believe there is a war between good and evil, they just coexist and sometimes cancel each other out. I don't think one can eliminate the other, it would be nice if evil could be eliminated but that's not possible in the real world, no matter what happens evil will crop up. I believe that humans are born with both good and evil in them. As for what evil and good are, it depends on your perspective. A lot of people's definitions of good and evil are very human-centric, basing what is good and bad based on how it affects people and not all living things and the world. I feel as if my concept of good and evil isn't fully developed yet, which makes this post difficult to answer.
