In religion, good and evil are recognized as two eternally opposing forces. Within a person, these two forces are also constantly fighting. In most cases, a person who has committed an evil act is tormented by conscience. This means that in his soul the best is opposed to the worst.
What can be considered evil
What is more important: evil in the name of good, or good that destroys evil? Black or White? They usually go side by side, like two sides of the same coin. But if it is clear with black and white, then with evil and good everything is more complicated.
It often happens that for one person what has happened is evil, and for another it is good. Where is the line between them? By definition, good is a deliberate, disinterested, sincere striving for the good of another person, animal, plant world. Accordingly, evil is a deliberate, conscious infliction of harm, damage, suffering.
There is a contradiction in the definition itself. The surgeon deliberately and deliberately causes suffering, both physical and mental, for example, during amputation. Is he doing good or evil? As a result of his actions, a person preserves his life, that is, evil in this case is committed precisely in the name of good. And the person who protected another person on the street from the attacking hooligans and wounded them, or even killed? Can we say that he did evil in the name of good? There are several opposite answers to this question, but it seems that no definite solution has been found. A lot of circumstances, the position of people from different sides prevent this from happening.
Where is the line between good and evil
Negative and destructive does not always bring evil. But the light also does not always bring good.
So, caring parents who protect their child from everything are more likely to bring evil. As a result, a person grows up who is not adapted to life, who from his weakness, disorder will bring evil to people.
Good can defeat evil, but there are not many such cases. A criminal, having fallen in love with an honest girl, can improve, become different. Life is very diverse and provides many different examples. The question in this case will only be about how long this correction will last. Very often a person returns after some time to his previous way of life.
It is a well-known saying that evil begets evil. In each situation, you can go deep into the depths, tracking how one person, who has previously met with evil, brings it to another, and this chain has no end. Although kindness, like beauty, can save the world, stand as a barrier on the path of evil and stop a series of troubles, hardships and the spread of evil.
Much more often, in the name of good, evil itself fights against other evil. In order to liberate the occupied territories during hostilities, people kill invaders, commit negative deeds, but bring peace, joy, good to another group of people.
The nature has programmed the struggle between good and evil. Animals kill animals of other species to provide food for their offspring, often dooming the offspring of the killed animal to certain death. Only a person who is trying to understand the nature of the structure of the world, who has developed moral principles and adheres to them, can in many situations make sure that the preponderance is on the side of good. But, as is often stated, the world is imperfect, there is still a lot of evil in it. For many people, the personal outweighs the public, which means that there will again be a struggle between good and evil, often under the slogan: "Evil is committed in the name of good."
