There is no absolute good or absolute evil. Good and evil are relative terms and depend on the situation. What is good for one person may be evil for another. Take, for example, Anakin Skywalker. In the Revenge of the Sith he turns to the dark side. He commits multiple crimes, including the murder of several jedi children. We say, “That is evil.” But look at the situation from Anakin’s perspective. He initially turns to the dark side to obtain powers that will help save his wife, Padme. So, from his perspective, his actions are good. This is why there is no absolute good or evil. The terms depend completely on the situation. Good and evil are ideas that also depend on morals. Some people grow up in areas where murder is a necessity. Of course, we condemn those people because we grew up in a society that abhors murder. It all depends on perspective and morals.
