"Without evil there can be no good, so it must be good to be evil sometimes."

^^ From a song Satan sung on the South Park Movie. (By the way there is a new movie coming out in october by the creators of South Park. It looks pretty sweet: http://www.teamamericamovie.com/)

There can be no such thing as a world free of strife. And that is a good thing. There is no greater joy than overcoming a great difficulty. The greater the challenge, the greater the joy.

nuff' said :)

NO! "Nuff" Is not SAID!!!

yes it is I said it right there in my first post :p

I was mainly getting at the fact that there will always be strife and anyone who wants a Utopia would not like the result. Although I don't think that people should not try to overcome things that they think are "bad". Thats how "progress" is made. Evil people are necessary so they are just as important as those who do good.

IF you don't agree with someone then they are doing their part in life and you should go thank them for their efforts today!

Thank you Bush for helping America (and the World) move forward by being so Evil :D

It's actually true. Rather, it seems to be true. There can be good, but it doesn't seem good.

Notice that the Tree from the Garden of Eden was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They had it good, but they didn't know it.

It's all about perspective. If you think you have it good, anything bad seems really bad. If you think you have it bad, anything good will seem really good. If you don't know either one, you can't make a judgement on either.

There is no evil, and there is no good. Although Frankly I think what there is is closer in definition of Evil than it is to good since any action a person can take is self-serving.

I agree that good and evil don't exist in nature but they exist in concept, and still without one you cannot have the other.

Everything in reality seems to have a dichotomy.

Life is like a tightrope. Balance is the key to progress. If you lean too much one way or the other you will fall.

Sometimes I think
When I look up real high
That's there's such a big world up there
I'd like to give it a try

But then I sink
Cause it's here I'm supposed to stay
But I get so lonely down here
Tell me why's it have to be that way?

Up there, there is so much room
Where baby's burp and flowers bloom
Everyone dreams I can dream too
Up there
Up where the skies are ocean blue
I could be safe and live without a care
Up there

They say I don't belong
I must stay below alone
Because of my beliefs
I'm supposed to stay where evil is sown
But what is evil anyway
Is there reason to the rhyme
Without evil there could be no good
So it must be good to be evil sometimes

Up there, there is so much room
Where babies burp and flowers bloom
Everyone dreams I can dream too
Up there
Up where the skies are ocean blue
I could be safe and live without a care
Live without a care
If only I could live up there
Oh I wanna live yeah
I wanna live up there
Oh baby
Oh
I want to live up there


yay!

Good and evil are illusions. There is nature, though.

Good and evil are illusions. There is nature, though.

what about negatives and positives? Do you think those are illusions too?

you can say somebody did something that was negative. although, that would still be subjective. killing people can be seen as negaive but the death penalty can be seen as positive to someone who sees murder as negative.

or maybe someone killed your wife or husband and you see that as negative, but the tns of dough you get from teh life insurance which helps you pay for the surgery that saves your mothers life makes the death a positive thing over all (if you look at it that way)

well hey, if the bad stuff never happened, how would you know what good is?
same thing with happiness. if you were never less-than-happy, how could you recognize when you were, indeed, happy?

the answer is you couldn't.

Sounds like sitting on the fence to me......
:rolleyes:
