about the concepts of good and evil
The concept of good and evil is different for everyone, but a person always acts depending on the situation.

In the endless ocean of human feelings and thoughts, like two irreconcilable opponents, the concepts of good and evil swirl. In my understanding, these two poles, like light and shadow, form an inseparable union, trying to figure out where one ends and the other begins.

Good is usually considered as a manifestation of help and care for others, allowing people to find comfort and joy, a sense of security with this or that person knowing that he or she will not abandon you and will always help, this is what people call a good personality. Good is partly connected with what is usually called special norms of behavior that are imposed on society.

But what is evil? It is a shadow lying on our paths. It lives in insidious plans and unnoticeable actions, undermining hopes and destroying trust. Evil is not only obvious cruelty, but also a quiet, everyday indifference that kills humanity in us. No one wants to accept evil, but in each of us there is a corner of darkness, where envy, resentment and hatred mature, and it depends only on our choice how we use this power.

The eternal conflict between good and evil reflects our human nature. Circumstances, culture and upbringing intervene in this ever-moving picture of life, shaping our

perception, our “I”. And although many strive for an ideal state of good, sometimes we have to face the dark sides of our personality.

Thoughts about good and evil cannot be abstract; they permeate every particle of existence. Every action, every word becomes an invisible weight on the scales of age-old disputes. We learn to recognize that sometimes evil can be a consequence of fear or hopelessness, while good can be incomplete without limits and understanding.

Looking around the world, we see how this eternal struggle plays out in each of us. But perhaps it is precisely in this contradiction that the essence of human life lies. Good and evil are

not final states, but paths along which we shape ourselves.

We look at everything through our worldview, it is impossible to say for sure that there is good and evil, these social concepts are created with an emphasis on people behaving more restrained. But in the end, it is now customary to judge everyone for their actions, because this or that action is usually considered “wrong”.
