Title: Good and Bad
Post by JaneBD on Aug 5^th, 2014, 2:47am

Is the idea of good and bad real?

Since they are both meta-physical concepts are they real or simply point of view?

How do you define real?
Is 'wetness' real? Can water really be wet, even though it's not a property of water molecules?

Standards of good and bad are something a society needs to thrive. It has actual effects. It may not be something that exists independent of the people that use it, but I would say it is real.

I dont think they are really they cant be real they are just a point of view and more like a standard upon which the world is built. Just think of a world without the sense of what is bad and what is good the world will fall apart.

A. Enstein once said - the darkness is just the absence of the light :) The same is with good/bad

Just a point of view. The same thing could be good for one person and bad for another one

Yet in practice, people mostly agree on what's good and what's bad and what's open to discussion.
People that are to disagreeable to society are dealt with, because society wants to thrive.
