Good and Bad

In life, the majority of choices and decisions are not clear cut. Different situations lead to different outcomes. The same thing can be said about good and evil. Who gets to decide what's right and wrong? Everyone has been raised unique ways and therefore instilled with different values. As for Voldemort (so evil he is referred to as he who must not be named), what would of happened if he grew up in a different life? If he had a loving family and wasn't isolated, maybe he would have turned out as a whole different person. Leah Kleppinger, the lady who found $4,600 and returned it to the owner, can also be used as an example. At that one point in time it is easy for us to say she is good, but what if circumstances were different? Would she have done the same if she was behind on a house payment and hadn't been able to afford food that day? It is easy to define one little act as good or bad but when it comes to defining a person it gets more complicated because more situations come into play, leaving a very big gray area. It would be hard for evil or good to ever completely eliminate the other because there is always going to be someone who does evil things and someone who does good. Good and evil both depend on morals, one is right and the other wrong. This is why how you are raised plays such a large role in who you are.
