Good vs Evil. Can both really co-exist?

[KaputAngelSparklyPhobia]

If there is no Good, there is no Evil. If there is no Evil, there is no Good. So it seems, they must need each other, they do have to co-exist no matter what, but then the constant battle that has raged on ever since the dawn of mankind has come to the point that one must vanquish the other.

[DoomsDay]

I am not the type of writer that has everything, I am rather deprived, of the things that I may not really need.
I need my leg to work, I need to put some distance between me and people behind the screen.

good and evil,

my ex girlfriend getting pregnant, made me think about my existence,
I couldn't register myself as God, by getting a girl pregnant, so I came looking for fulfilment on his promise?is that what I have been doing?

is it evil to read book trying to cure oneself?

what's happened to me, is that I read biblical story, I felt the calling to confront the western world.

now, here I am, I wish I have something better to say, some better cloth to put on, some better record, a better person, I am just me, wanting needing fulfilment on his promise,this God is not his name?and its just promise from someone else to someone else.

what did I promise myself? what sent me out all the way to here?
am I going to become immortal to watch generation of people live and die and live?

what's the happiness for the people? am I not the same? I just dont have it, writing doesn't help so much, this isnt a family meeting, my family doesn't speak English, Chinese usually doesn't speak this language. what are these people, why am I talking

If I ram my car over your so called immortals, i'm sure their immortality will end.

Good and evil are connected. You can't have one word without the other.

... it's just bad.

Compared to what? Something that is good.

My point is the words create the endpoints on a spectrum. The words need to be in relation to each other.

[xAlphaStarOmegax]

Right now, both exist, but I firmly believe that there will be a day when evil is fully eradicated.

Do You need to know how it feels like if You feel bad - to know how You feel like if You feel good? You probably appreciate it more, or the understanding of it shifts a bit depending on what You´re used to know, but i don´t think You need to define bad, to know what good is - and vice versa.

Sure you can. You can have good and bad instead.
A peach pie full of mackrel might not be good but it's not evil either... it's just bad.

the word good has sadly 2 different meanings and evil is the counter to one and bad to the other.. bad humans would for example mean that they are bad at being human, same as ur pie fails to fulfill the standards of a good pie

I think you'll find a lot of truths when you know the good -and- the bad. Sometimes the bad is cloaked behind our forefather's wisdom. So we don't know appreciate what is truly bad when analyzing a situation. We should be grateful we're standing on their shoulders.

But yeah, good? bad? Relative to what?

Well, you are aware that nor good nor evil exist ? Just the vast coldness and indifference of deep space. I'm aware that one may need some mystical mumbo-jumbo to keep sane, but there can be too much of mystical umbo-jumbo in one's life.

Relative to Your feeling or understanding of it. Or if You believe in religion relative to the understanding of the religion of it. Or if You believe in the laws we have - relative to that. Or if You believe in the goals of any business - relative to this. Also relative to Your exceptions about something. But good isn´t relative to bad as few people would measure it that way as it´s next to impossible.

Except You have something very specific and can objectively measure it. Like You want to make $100 profits, then making $110 is 10 better than it - and making only $90 would 10 less than it. That would be equally good or bad compared to the initial goal, while Your feeling about it may vary. As the 10 less perhaps feel worse, than the better feeling You have if making 10 more in comparison - even if You only expected 100, but perhaps need 95 to cover the costs - or any loss feels worse than any equal gain. Don´t know how to describe it, but i think You know what i mean...

God and the Devil are the same being

Evil… Good, they’re two sides of the same coin.

Exactly. God and the Devil are not separate entities but two sides of the same being.

First, everything is relative. Lots of shades of grey in the social sciences.

Understand the term - ceteris paribus - all else equal. Isolate variables and look at trade-offs. What is received. And what is given to receive it.

Okay, trying to digest your example...

I don't think your example has to do with good vs bad. You're talking about a distribution of outcomes. That's called luck. Or, better yet, probability.

Probability is entirely different - in my opinion.
