Fighting Evil

[isoFlux]

Absolute or objectve evil doesn\'t exist.

\"Good\" and \"evil\" only exist within the context of a value system. Once you have a well-defined, established value system, you can make judgements; comparing actions and motives to that value system. But that is all it is: congruancy or conformity to a value system.

Human beings usually term it as \"right\" and \"wrong\", or \"good\" and \"evil\", but in reality they only equate to \"X agrees with Y values\" or \"X disagrees with Y values\". Different value systems, and even different interpretations of one value system, will exhibit different judgements on different actions and motives.

As an individual, and as a culture or group, we then use these judgements to \"justify\" actions. All that means is persuading other people to agree that a certain action is congruent with an agreed-upon value system.

Outside of value systems, all actions just are. They aren\'t \"right\" or \"wrong\", \"good\" or \"evil\". And, of course, value systems can only be labeled with the introduction of yet another value system, leading to recursive value systems.
