Musing

LJ is, beyond any doubt, the wrong place to try to figure out the nature of mankind. The only answer it returns is: Situation Normal, All Fucked Up. That, and catgirl porn. BUT!

We are brave and tenacious explorers, and thus are not stopped by such petty concepts as 'sanity'. So, we look into the darkest heart of the virtual community (no, not the one where the fans write stories about Ian McKellan having his wicked way with a drugged Orlando Bloom while shouting, "Who's the king now, Viggo?!", but nice try) and ask: What is good and evil?

All kidding aside, I'm curious. If you're interested, leave a comment giving /your/ definition of 'good' and 'evil'.

My definitions would probably be something along these lines:

Good: Providing benefit to one or many with little or no harm done to others.
Evil: Providing benefit to few or one (a minority share of the affected group) with harm done to others in the process.

This is a bit simplistic, but that's about the best wording I can come up with at the moment. It's not perfect, I admit this.

If anyone's definition were perfect, the world wouldn't be in such a mess, right? ;)
