What are your thoughts on Good and Evil?

@PhoenixPhail

I'm sure that bit of silly armchair philosophy will be of great comfort to you, should you ever be beaten up and robbed, for example. 🙄

@Thinkerbell I don't see being beaten up and robbed as either good or evil. Those judgements would be something I would assign to the event.
That's not to say I would like it. All I would say about it, is that I was beaten up and robbed.

@PhoenixPhail

Oh, ok... then the Holocaust was neither good nor evil.
All you would say about it, is that it was mass killing on an industrial scale.

Got it. 🙄

@PhoenixPhail I don't think you honestly believe that. No sane person can honestly believe such a ridiculous thing.

@Oberon1 Then, call me insane.

@Thinkerbell Right. They did what they did.

What you are overlooking is [i]why[/i] they did what they did.
The higher-up nazis did it out of hatred.
The camp guards were notorious for their treatment of the prisoners; many of them [i]enjoyed[/i] tormenting them.

And motivations such as these are not evil?
If you don't think so, we have a fundamental disagreement on the definition of the word.

Reminds me of a physics lecture about time I heard once.
"Time is an emergent phenomenon; its passage is an illusion."
