Good and Evil

Prior to reading about evil in our society, and if it will ever fade away, this article has taught me many things. Mainly, this article starts off by discussing if evil can ever be completely removed, and moves into good deeds. The article states, "...without the presence of evil in society, the good would never be seen." I completely agree with this statement. If everybody did good deeds, and doing good was just a part of life, no deeds would be recognized.

This article also talks about how evil and good dont act as seperate forces. If one person was pure good, or pure evil, their life would be thrown off balance. Together these two forces act as one and balance our everyday lives.

Also, this passage discusses rules to our society, and free will. If we have the power to do whatever we would like, then society would be able to determine the morals, and type of person somebody truly is. Since society has laws, we are judged and configured by statistics of how people should behave. After all, without laws people could figure out their balance between good and evil.
