What you suggest is pure moral relativism. "What is good or evil for me is not necessarily good or evil for you." This world view lends to myriad problems in the face of criminal legislature. Suppose I kill your family. If I can prove that, for me, I was doing what I interpret to be good, how can you reply and say what I did was wrong or evil? If right and wrong are not ultimately based upon some standard of good and evil, what are they based upon? Societal standards tend to crumble in this world view. Upon what are your standards of right and wrong based? What do you do when your standards conflict with society's standards?
