When I was younger, I had a rather negative view of the world. (Despite having a very positive and childish view until around the age of 7-8.) I could state "I hate everything" and not lie about that. Despite that, I moved on and as I grew older and adapted a thought progress alike to; "There is good in everything".  Now a few years older yet, I have stopped believing that. For the past 5 years or so of my life, I have settled with a thought regarding this. "There is neither good or bad, there only is."  I believe that saying that; "Taking a life is bad" is rash and without thought. Human justify their actions in any way they can come up with. "I killed so many people, but I did it for the greater good. It was the right thing to do." or "I can't see a positive outcome here, it is just a bad thing to do." 

Ideas that it either has to be "bad" or "good" are narrow-minded and one-sided at best. It's near impossible to fully understand the views of others, unless you actively try constantly. In the mind of one, murder is a good thing, while in the next its a bad thing. "Good" and "Bad" as we've defined them are subjective at the very core. They are concepts of humans, not nature. Hence, I have come to believe; 

Quote:There is neither good or bad, there only is.

Someone once asked me what I would do if they tried to kill everyone I loved. Of course my response was; "I'd save them." To which they asked if I answered that because it; "Is the right thing to do?". Here is the funny thing though, my answer to that question surprised them. Because I wouldn't protect someone because "it's the right thing to do", I wouldn't kill someone because "it is the right thing to do". No. I would do it because it is what I wanted to do. If that makes you hate me, if that makes you love me, I don't care for either result. I don't want to act out of "good" or "bad", but act on my own wishes. Now that might sound selfish, right? (It actually does.) But then again, "selfish" is a "bad" thing, a subjective thing.
