The true nature of good and evil . . .?

[hexwind]

So, murder is always evil, but evil cannot be defined in any static matter?

Evil is defined by actions and concepts, and they vary in two dimensions, time and space. But it's not an utter change in its elements, and murder is one of the elements that didn't change.
Is it clear? coz i'm not sure i expressed myself properly due to my poor English

I think Blowtus is wondering how murder can always be evil if evil has no strict and constant defining characteristic.

doesnt it really boil down to "do unto others as you would have done unto you" ?

This may be a bit off topic. But I personally don't believe humans are good or evil. I think humans are very quid pro quo. They will compensate for what they are missing in whatever way. "Good" humans compensate in behaviors that will help other humans, "bad" humans compensate in behaviors that will harm others. That ties into my definition of evil.

I see evil or goodness in a human as a changeable mindset that merely depends on their choice of behaviors used to reach the same goal (satisfaction).

The man who steals the purse was faced with a choice: “Should I go through with the aforementioned action?” He chose yes, stealing the purse was the good result. Another individual, faced with the same question will choose no, and that will be their own “good” result. The result they believe will help them the most in their lives.
