While I was at work on Friday, a few of my coworkers and I were discussing an interesting topic. We were having a conversation about the differences of bad and evil, so I figured I would take it a step further and bring it to this site.

I personally feel there is a big difference. I think the way in which someone may view “bad” is quite subjective, and strongly depends on the person interpreting it. I personally believe we need bad in order to know and recognize what is good. I think without it, we would lack the appreciation and gratitude for all good in our lives. Yes, it may be uncomfortable, it may even be down right painful, but how would we know the difference without the balance???

Evil on the other hand is an extreme of the bad, but it too has its‘ place. Whether it be the influence of Satan/devil/demons etc, or just our own human mind diseased and faulted, it teaches us what not to do, what not to be, how not to act.

There are many reasons why we as humans do what we do, on all levels. We have our mental health in play as well as our physical/chemical status, upbringing and morals, or lack thereof.

I believe we all are capable of doing, saying, or showing things that someone may perceive as bad, maybe even evil, but does this mean we are???? Is it possible to be both good and bad???? Is it possible to be a good person and not realize we are being viewed negatively???? What are your thoughts????
