Does Evil and Good exist?

in #philosophy7 years ago

Murder is a sin that defers to killing, stealing for taking someone that is not yours and lying for telling something that is not true despite of you knowing it. To most people, these words are an attribute formed from evil but in the universal sense, does evil even exist? Is good even there? Possibly the both need each other since without good there is no evil.

Look at this perspective, how can someone tell that an earthquake that killed many is evil while on the unverse such phenomena is normal. Everyday, a lot of bigger much more disastrous events happens around the universe like explosion of stars, intense radiation and cosmic storms. So does it mean that evil only implies to something that can harm human? So is it safe to say that danger is equals to evil? If murder was wrong then why do we eat pigs that we slaughter?

When somebody is evil, that means this person fights for something this person and everybody else concider to be morally wrong. I do not think it makes sense to say that a natural disaster is evil because it does not know anything about morals and it is not intentionally fighting for it. You could disagree with my definition though.

humans are forever ruled by our EGO. we think the universe revolves around us. if a comet obliterates earth today, the universe will still continue like no man's business.

Yeah, those people are ignorant. I know the universe revolves around a potato 1.6 billion light years away from us. Nobody believes me, because they are afraid of facing the truth.
