i am in wholehearted agreement with you here balance is very important. without it, there is chaos and disorder. theres always balance of good/evil, light/dark, etc. it gives us and our universe stability

i agree with you also... and in support of it ive always believed that you can not have good without evil, nor can you have evil without good, because if the world was lacking in one of those we could not have the other as there would be nothing to compare it to...

Yeah, but you can say good and evil needs to be balanced, but how people interpret good and evil means there will never be a balance. Years of conditioning of telling average Joe what's right, but average John would have been told something else, been brought up in different surroundings.

I think I'm good for helping people find good quality bud and undercutting the scumbags, however, the church, the police, the neighbours would see me as an evil drug dealer.

its not up to the people to determine "good and evil" thats a job for the universe. so it doesnt really matter how people interpret it. we dont make any difference in the grand scheme of things. it reminds me of the saying "the universe tends to unfold as it should" which to me...means that not only do we have balance, but that we have no say in the matter. its left completely up to the cosmos

i say this ALL the time lol. that there cant be good without the bad. and we cant have light without the dark

As I get older and start looking around/back at things more Im starting to believe in this "balance" more and more, karma, yin and yang, etc.

Two definitions of Evil;

Evil- the most successful, expedient, cost effective solution to any problem.

Evil- the point of view of the loosing side in a given conflict.

Make up your own mind as to their worth.

there is no balance between good and evil. there isn't even a constant definition of the terms. there is only opposition between differing and ever changing viewpoints and a certain give and take between their constituents. there is only chaos with brief interludes of pattern to break up that monotony. only the sentient mind, intent on finding order to meet its own definition of the rational, demands that sense be made of it all. the universe simply doesn't care.
