Can_Evil_Be_Good

Can Evil Be Good To discuss a statement of this nature, it would be necessary to define the meaning of 'evil'. In my opinion, any act, which inflicts harm on another individual (or group of individuals), is evil and is to be avoided at all costs. Taking that in mind, one (usually!) restricts his behaviour to acts that do not fall under the category of being 'evil'. Following this golden rule, all is well and good - until we face a situation where 'evil' acts may (seem to) lead to good. It is not hard to think of such situations. For instance, the saga of capital punishment springs to mind at once. The 'criminal' committed a crime - he may have killed, robbed, or seriously injured someone - and so he must be punished, by taking away man’s most valued possession - life. Here is an example how evil - which is killing a human being - is employed to serve a 'good' cause, which is terminating evil by abolishing it at its roots.
