good and evil

I do not think that good and evil exist at all. Nothing in inherently good or evil, these classifications are made by us as a society. Our society and we have a common acceptance of what is good or bad, for example we would classify the murder of an innocent being to be evil and helping others good. But one has to realize that these are only good or evil because of the way we were conditioned by society. If in fact we had been raised differently we could see these two good and bad scenarios differently.
I also believe that good and evil, in the way that we as a society see it, is relative. Without bad there can not be good. Something that is bad here such as missing a blog post may seem to be bad in a situation where someone's life is in danger this would not be worth a thought. We define things as being good or evil in comparison with each other and that is why in my opinion one cannot exist without the other.
