Are we all saying that if we define "good", we must by definition define something as "not good"? I guess I meant (by "conscious evil") actions that are evil which are done with full awareness of their evil nature. I don't see this in nature. Everything seems to have a purpose in nature, even the swaying in the breeze of sunflowers seems to be a willingness to 'go with the flow'. Can we conclude from this that there is no purpose to definitions like "good" and "evil"? Or is it that we are not as advanced to exist socially as our animal sisters? And how does the conception of spirituality relate to this? Do we get conceptions of "good" and "bad" from spirituality? I think we get them from dogma, but I wonder if spirituality contains them as well? I know that early belief systems included anthropomorphic deities, which mirrored human follies and acted in ways that could be terms "good" and "bad" (but the goddesses and gods didn't carry those labels).
