People of good and evil is difficult to distinguish, how do we know people are good or bad? In these days, the appearance is often deceptive, I often find people who are physically was a good and educated, but in reality he is no different from the behavior of criminals accomplished.

It is not necessary that God should be always good. If something happened good god did good things and happens bad, god does bad for you!!! Good god.

Yea, that's what happened to me, my brother who always loved me during my life, you know, now he has turned evil to me, I just shut up and surprised by all this. Likewise with my good friend, he was ever asked me to join with a small company created by her, yea I save some money, this is very painful, she never appeared again in front of me, he went to take my money and never came back, I was already 10 years old wait, but I've forgotten it, however they are the people who have had close to me, I do not want to enlarge the problem.

well, surely there is crime everywhere, because crime is not just created on the basis of intention alone, but also for the opportunity.

Good Day! For me to distinguish between good and evil is to know the things they're doing in a way that if it brings disadvantages to others, its evil. If its for the benefit of all, its good. That's how simple my opinion is. :)

This may be a little too simple. Honestly it's hard anymore to do something that doesn't hurt someone. To use a cheezy but classic example. You're family is staving so you steal food to feed them. What you did helped your family, but hurt the person you stole the food from. Most people wouldn't classify that act as evil because it helped more than it hurt. I think people are too concerned with labling things. Right and wrong, good and evil, black and white... very few things fit into one category or the other. Grey areas make up 99% of the world. Add in things like religion and other moral compasses and every group believes they have the answer and everyone else is wrong and therefore evil. All and all it's screwed up.

For me, I distinguish evil from good by analyzing what was done. People who does things you know have bad consequences will be surely an evil. Good is known when you are at peace and you have no doubt of God's works. Every person has an evil and good inside them.

Yea a good opinion of you, human beings have two different sides, that means every human being has two faces, good and evil. Best man still has a bad side, but with a very small level, and it is controlled by levels of each individual conscience.

"Evil" and "good" are two concepts which we perceive mental reality, they exist as entities in the universe, they do not exist outside our mind. The idea of good and evil is that they do not exist as entities, they are only two mental concepts by which we separate the whole to be able to understand, so do any new work to be able to understand the need to compare it with its opposite. They create us in our minds they actually do not exist in reality outside it and there is as strong or entity in the universe. In the universe there are only two forces, contraction and expansion in our reality there are only two emotions of fear and love, but we just made ??this separation in order to understand to be compared within, but not at the macroscopic there than the whole, a single force, namely the creation, expansion, and only an emotion, namely love. We have created in our minds its opposite, all other emotions and notions, I gave another meaning of our understanding and experience our attempt.

so even if created as a fellow human being and likeness of God and do good it is an obligation / necessity,but the man with his sin nature will tend to choose to do bad.and do good to cover the ugliness.
