Good and Bad are they subjective or objective?

For something to be bad, another must be good

And for something to be good, another must be bad

Meaning they complement each other.

Did good give rise to bad or vice versa?

What is bad or good? Is it the act or the actor?

But how do we judge good from bad?

Is it through the means of the act?

Or by the result of the act?

Or by the prejudice of the actor?

Put these three things into consideration Religion, Death, and Love.

Some people like to blame religion for the divisions and wars going on in the world, yet no religion preaches hate.

The question is what is the cause of the wars?

No one fights a war to win souls, for the dead cannot be won over.

This means something else is the motive for the war and hatred.

People fight over land and resources owned by people of other religions, they now hide under the canopy of religion.

I like to believe we don’t have a good or bad religion

We only have good and bad people.

Can we say death is good or bad?

Death is subjective.

Death can come as a relief to some people, due to their conditions.

Should we now say the relief is bad?

Death can also come as a kill joy to some people, now we can say death wasn’t fair!

We all want rest, isn’t death the ultimate rest?

For as long as we are in this world, no rest.

So now can we say death is good or bad?

Did love give birth to hate or did hate give birth to love?

For everything that is loved can be hated and everything that is hated can be loved.

For to hate that which is bad and love that which is good, is what summarizes love.

However, is there a single definition for love, for as beauty is in the eye of the beholder so is love in the feeling of the receiver.

Love has no single definition, many things define love

What’s your definition of love?”
