Influence Of Environment And Judging Between Good And Evil
We need to view these issues separately. Regardless of our environment, as humans we inherently have the capability to differentiate between good and evil. Even the most evil person doesn’t like when the same evil is committed against his own self. For example, even a professional thief doesn’t like it when someone else steals from his house, and he considers the act to be evil. Influence does indeed affect our tolerance for the evil, however, never to a point where can’t distinguish between good and evil. We have also been granted free will and generally we are free to decide between good and evil. However, in certain instances, either due to circumstances or due to higher tolerance for evil, we commit bad deeds. In those cases we can expect some relaxation from God when He judges our case on the Day of Judgement.
Not necessarily. Justice is already served by the courts in this world keeping in mind any unusual circumstances of the accused. In the court of God the standard of justice will be even higher.
