There are opposites everywhere. For every action there must be an equal an opposite reaction (I think I got that right. Been a while.) So in my mind anything that would cause individuals or the world to prosper or grow in a beneficial way would be 'good'. Anything that destroys in a NON-beneficial way would be 'evil'. Yet without the 'evils' we would have no death = overpopulation: no pain = no appreciation of health: no disaster = no red cross assistence: no Osama = no way of boosting our self esteem since we'd never dream of doing anything so wicked as he would (jk). I'm not even satisfied with my explanation of how I view things. I guess it boils down to without 'evil' ' there would be no 'good'. Everything would be neutral, dull, and without purpose. Every religious group that I can think of feels that it is in a battle against 'evil'. Yet without some religious efforts there would be a lot of 'good' that would go undone. No one trying to be 'good' enough to gain their nirvana, heaven, or other peaceful end.
