Murder is evil.

I think the first thing we need to understand is that, in society, we have defined all of these terms. Right and wrong are all offspring of the human races' mind and we have just grown accustomed to thinking things of this sort; just the same with evil and good. [Example: Murder is evil, Loving is good.] With that being said, nothing is really 'evil' or 'good' considering that those are terms we made up in our heads and just because society subjugates murder as a form of evil does not mean that it is evil in the least. Of course, I do not condone murder, for I personally believe that it is not something that needs to applicable towards society in general; but that doesn't change the fact that I believe nothing is "evil" and/or "good". Considering the belief of "nothing is evil and/or good", I will use a couple of scenarios to justify my point that these words are nothing but made-up definitions for something that we cannot possibly understand fully. [Example One: Take love for example. One person may fall in love with another and that's, generally sought as, a good thing. That's only because you are looking at that situation and not the things in the background - sure, it could be good for the couple that is in love, but what about the man/woman that never got a chance to experience that love? Would that not be bad for the people not involved in that pursuit of happiness? What if the man that is in the love with the woman broke a million hearts to get to that point, or what if the woman cheated with the man she fell in love with before actually breaking it off with the other man?] [Example Two: Take murder, a more close-to-discussion example. Say someone stabs someone in an alleyway - you hear it on the news a couple hours later and it states that the person stabbed had no criminal charges, he was 'innocent' and his family was completely devastated. In the background, though, you realize that the man stabbed was harboring young children and peddling them to the black-market and was using the money to afford his filthy drug habit. The man stabbed was abusive, corrupt, and the only reason that the media says he's "innocent" is because he was never caught in the act. He had caused so much pain to others that taking his life caused more peace than suffering.] With the examples stated, I personally believe that nothing is "evil" and/or "good" - it's only the feelings that you are subjected to that allow you to define how you personally feel on the subject. Murder could be evil to some people, but on the other hand, people could think that it is a good way to keep society in order. Considering that, without some type of bad-natured things, society would have nothing to fear and living would become dull. So, in short, I do not believe that murder is an evil act - nor do I believe ANYTHING is an evil act. There are good and bad to everything and whatever happens in our society shapes us into what we are today. We fear murder, therefore, we have great security at public places. That could only have occurred had something traumatic happened in the past - so, more people are safe because someone had taken a bullet. You may think it's bad that the person died, but in actuality, it made it so more people were safe in public locations. "Evil" is merely subjective. You need to look at both sides and realize that all outcomes have good/bad.
