As to say that there is "absolute good" or "absolute evil" in this world is unreasonable to say. Anything that anyone does can be seen as good or bad according to someone else. Its all based on people's moral beliefs, perspective, and things they have been told growing up. If you as a child were told that stealing was a good thing and that it was the only way your family could survive, you will steal. And if you are told that from a very young age then you may always (or at least for a long time) believe that stealing is truly a harmless thing to do. In essence even "good" for your family. However, the person you steal from may see it as a very bad and morally incorrect thing to do.
According to me, there are BAD people in this world. People who kill, steal, lie, and cheat ,but maybe to themselves they think they are doing the right thing. And maybe the people they surround themselves with agree with them. So to those people I and others who have the same moral beliefs that I do are seen as bad people, because we believe different things, opposite things for that matter. Or maybe they just see what they are doing as responsible or just because of things they believe have been unfairly done to them.
I don't think it is possible to us as humans to live in a world free of this constant debate between good and evil. Politics revolve around what people to believe is good and evil for the country. School and church teach us what we should deem as evil or good. These institutions will not ever change their minds so therefore keeping this constant battle between good and evil. Life is all about the grey area. Without it people wouldn't have the will power or independence to do anything for themselves. Everything would always be right and no decisions would be made for us. And I do not think that, that is the way to live.
