RE: The Veil of Good that Evil Hides Within

in #philosophy8 years ago (edited)

Nice. Or to summarize... good and evil are completely subjective and often not actually useful as the labels they claim to be??? :)

Partially why I am not a fan of the majority rules type of thing either. There is nothing stopping the majority from opting to kill off the minority. Good and Evil as labels seem to be very much tied to what the majority interprets those things to be. Yet there is also how we each personally interpret those labels.

Sort:  

Words can be defined. People can misuse accurate representations of definition like the words good, evil, true, false, or anything else. Just because someone says something is true, yet isn't, doesn't meant there is no "truth".

It also doesn't mean how people interpret those words is not subjective. ;)

EDIT: I wrote quite a number of blogs about Word Hijacking. I tend to like definitions. I'm not a fan of when they get repurposed for something they didn't actually mean.

100% correct. That's the point indeed, is that people are subjectively defining things themselves as they wish, according to their whims, wants or desires, and not assigning meaning or definition from an objective basis where things are accurately understood. Thanks for the feedback. We swung back onto the same page ;) lol
