Please stop with labeling people, this does absolutely no good for trying to understand what is really wrong. They only serve to explain your own bias and misunderstanding.

Your understanding of moral systems falls short of the depth and strength of what morals really are. They are not a means for food replenishment, they are not a means for physical protection, they are a means to do what is right within your heart. Our ancestors knew these morals because they expressed their hearts to each other, but we have become too afraid to do that.

I understand that what you are trying to point out is that good and evil can be relative to the observer, but this is also a deception. Those who understand what good and evil are do not need validation, other than from others who understand the same - WITHIN THEIR OWN HEART. It is only through that experience, feeling something that no one outside of your own consciousness might have known, that we might understand how we are connected, and what real truth is.

I also did not write that good and evil are relative to the observer. I only observed how easy it is to err. I think that Adolf Hitler was convinced that he was doing the right thing by killing Jewish people.

It was his inner voice from within his own heart telling him to do so. He thought that he understood good and evil, and that Jewish people were evil and destroying Germany. He thought that he did not need validation.

He genuinly thought that Jewish people were a threat. He had good reasons for this too, if you consider who the top 1% are that bribe the politicians in the US (45% of the Fortune 500 are Jewish). And the top 1% seems to be destroying the US by corruption and pushing the US into wars (Neocons).

I think the biological origin of good and evil is more objective than subjective feelings from someones heart. Many people do not like to evaluate their actions. They think that if their intentions are good, then they are good. They do not like to be confronted with the consequences of their own actions for other people.

For example, being a climate sceptic may mean that you could be obstructing measures that can save your children. Climate sceptics could be wrong, but they do not seem to consider this possibility. Climate sceptics may be evil but they may also be nice and friendly people. They may be convinced that they are right and they may have good reasons for their opinion too.

Good and evil is about actions and consequences and not about intentions.

Original Message Evil is easy to spot today, of that fact there is no doubt. From the genocide occurring in Syria to the worldwide victims of human trafficking and rape, examples of evil are never short in supply, abundance, and severity. However, this evil does not occur in a vacuum of indicators, causes, and pain - it occurs solely on the grounds that the good people in this world who know it is wrong choose to do nothing about it. It is this lack of concern and utter complacency that has led to the culture of corruption, immorality, violence, and death we see today.

Many will claim that there is nothing that can be done, that the way the world works is beyond their individual or collective ability to affect it. On the surface, this may seem accurate, but it ignores the incredible examples of individuals, lone people in history that have made an amazing and lasting impact on the world. These are people like Mahatma Ghandi, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King, and countless others who chose to be the change instead of continuing to regret the sadness of reality.

We cannot count on political leaders and those in power to make this happen for us, they are too far gone in their aspirations and ambitions to care about the state of the world, least of all the benefit of others. We must do this, all of us, no matter where you come from, what you do for work, or what your political or religious leanings may be. We can help to bring about real change by our actions, by our own example. You can be an inspiration to others if you want to, and when you can bring hope to someone who would not have had it otherwise, you become a hero.
