What is good? What is evil? Does it exist?

---

I don't know, I've always figured that if you want to define evil you should start by looking at the guy who brutally murdered a bag of puppies and build your definition around that. And, well, I just read about an old man who recently died.  He had a home near one of the most popular cliffs to commit suicide on, and he talked over 300 people out of suicide throughout his life.  I think that's pretty good.  You know, I don't think I'd ever really gotten the hang of deep discussions like this.

'Good' can be defined as something pure inside oneself that enables it to do or say something pure. 'Evil' is defined as something that is a perfect adjective for a person who is a sinner. At least, what I think.

Both good and evil are defined differently to everyone that is because of our perception. Everyone has different perceptions that is what makes everyone unique. Yes, the majority of us have the same perceptions of what falls into each category of good and evil such as murder or genocide being "evil" or bad but still there are people out there that will justify those acts and believe that those things are good. Like the suicide bombers or the Salem Witch Trials. They believed they were doing the right thing, "good", but the majority of us view it differently compared to them.

Yeah I agree, good and evil are relative to each person.
