RE: Are Good and Evil Really the Same as Light and Darkness?

[aaronsuncamacho]

I have been explaining this to people for a few decades:

"The contrast between light and dark need to exist for us to live, while the contrast of good and evil needing to exist -- or evil needing to exist to show us what good is -- for us to live is a fallacy. It only needs to exist in the internal subjective consciousness and as knowledge for us to share (recounts of past wrongs, creating new fictional simulations, but no new occurrences are required)."

I usually point out that evil only needs to have happened once in order for good to be seen in contrast to it forever.

You are one of the reasons I keep reading on steemit!

Yeah, and we can even imagine evils that have never even been created lol, yet don't need to create them.

Very true. I usually do not think of or reference the ability to imagine novel negatives in my own explanations. I will now.

Thanks.
