What is good, what is false? 12-11-2012, 08:59 PM

Hello!
For some time ago, I had a discussion with my teacher.
I said that everything has an opposite side. Like, there have to be something bad, so we can know what is good. Like, to say that a cake is good, we have to first taste a cake that tastes shit (Bad example actually, but..). My teacher said that he disagreed. That people know from the beginning what's good to do, and what's bad to do. He said that there haven't to be the 2 sides, only the good one.
So, which statement do you agree with?

Well, I agree that there has to be two sides, if you say someone baked a good cake, when it tastes shit.
They think they are good at baking cakes.
On the other side, if you tell them it's a bad cake, they get critique and they know what to work on.
Off topic:
And check your grammar i think.

I'm with you on this one. If people were taught to kill from a very young age as a custom, it would not seem wrong to them. In our culture, killing is taken very seriously, which is why it is considered bad.

I agree with your statement, the second one is unrealistic.

The world is based on opinions. You cannot have only one opinion. This thread would not exist if we had the same opinions, you're asking us to debate on whether opinions or not exist. That is stupid. If he says that only the good exists, then that's his opinion. An opinion is a person's choice or representation of a specific topic. Good and bad? If we get technical, and you were born to have been taught that both of those words meant the opposite, your argument will be as strong both ways. It is all based on perspective. So tell me, do you really think that opinions do not exist? Logic? Bah! That shit doesn't exist. If Logic was "logical" then you see people fighting on the BASIS of logic everyday. Then what is logic?
