Good & Evil


            The idea of it good and evil has perplexed mankind ever since he could conceive the thought. For the past four thousand years, people from around the world have created images and ideas of good and evil. The validation of all these thoughts lay in the cultural origins of the writer or the creator. To believe in just one idea or image is absurd and shows the ignorance and vanity of a person. A truly good person will be a universal image or thought, while the image an evil person can be conceived in the same way. To describe a good person by what he believes in useless because you subject the image to cultural bias. One must able to describe a universal being whom a person of any age, race, color, or creed can recognize. .
             The ideal image of a good describe by many as Jesus. While this is a good example it is a Christian example and not a universal example. In order to create a universal example one must specify certain traits that would be interpreted as virtues in any place. So in a way one is creating a Charter' for a good person across all dimensions. What virtues will this person posses? One would say valor, respect, honor, sympathy, mercy, honesty, and self-realization, but there are so many things that one leaves out. Virtues make a good person but that person must be open to new ideas and thoughts he must know that he is not the founder of all knowledge. He must be open to the fact he may be wrong and that a change may be necessary. This is something that religion do not understand every religion believes that it is the one true religion. The idea itself is a huge fallacy, if history has thought humanity something it is that no society, culture, or thought has remained has remain right forever. Another thing that shows a good person is that person's image. This is not the image that he creates for himself, but the image he releases as passes by a stranger or as he walks alone in the distance.
