That's a hard question! I don't really scale things in terms of good and evil.

I'm not religious, so I don't belief in the God (good)/Satan (evil) stories, neither that only good people deserve to go to heaven and evil people to hell.

It's pure circumstancial, how all events from your past to present lead up, that's what has a big influence on being a good person or a bad person. But the people who are given the chance and choose to not do good, when they can, are the scum. And that are a lot of people.

There has to be a balance/an equilibrum between good and evil, they should cancel each other out. So the further people deviate from the balancepoint in the middle of the scale, the more I will see such a person as problematic, wether it's highly good or highly evil.

Being good is something you shouldn't really be thinking about, because every choice you make is one that has repercussions. You can make choices you think are good, but this doesn't give you the certainty the choice effectivily had a positive effect. It's more likely that every choice will bring about good and bring about evil (harm, sadness, frustration,...). But this doesn't mean you shouldn't do anything at all.

Doing good is all about knowing what the person wants or needs (and even then you should wager if it would be a good thing to give what he/she wants or needs when you know what it is), it's not about doing good for the sake of doing good, because the last mentality tends to backfire most of the time.You should do good to make someone else feel good, but als to make yourself feel good. And you also shouldn't intervene in every situation that looks evil. Sometimes you just have to make the choice on intuition wether you act or abstain. Because it's never certain how things turn out. You should do good, but not at the cost of putting yourself in danger, unless you are prepared for it. You either go full 100% for something or not.

And people that are swayed by evil acts, have a need to be accepted and to be understood. If you have the capacity, you should show them how they can turn their evil ways into somewhat good or at least neutral.

>.< I should think about that question some more once in awhile, it never took me so long to figure out an answer and even now i'm not completely convinced that's how I see it... -_-
