Good and Evil

Good and evil are concepts designed to describe opposite, relative moral concepts. There is neither universally defined "good" nor "bad". Things are definitely not black-and-white when it comes to moral concepts. Concepts may have values of "more good" or "less good", as well as "more evil" and "less evil" in comparison to other concepts. Frame of reference makes all the difference and this is where many people get confused and misdirected. On a global scale, murder may be considered "evil" due to its detrimental effects on the human race. However, on a local scale, murder might be means by which a community checks the population of their race, and therefore can be construed to be "good" in a sense. Because of the varying degrees of focus and belief, moral determinations of good and evil are rarely clear-cut.
