Is there a clear separation of good and evil in society? I, for one, think both yes, and no. Just think about it, have you ever met a single flawlessly benevolent person? On the flip side, have you ever met a person that is purely malevolent? If you say you have met either, you are probably lying. This being said, a spectrum of good and evil is the most probable of theories.
While good and evil actions are considered subjective, there is still a decently clear division of harmful and beneficial actions toward people. This, in a way, makes the thought of “good” and “evil” as being theoretical at best and not actually achievable for anyone to be completely one or the other. That is unless they are Jesus or Lord Voldemort.
Back to the grey area. Since nobody is perfect, often good people do bad things; vice versa. Humans are humans, so sometimes we act selfishly and sometimes we act selflessly. Some are just more prone to do good or bad more often. In this way, neither good nor evil can eliminate the other as long as humanity exists. This is just how we are wired; however, it is whether or not that we try to be a better person that counts.
