Good v. evil
Personally, I do not believe good vs. evil. I believe that there is good in everyone and everything, and that there is also bad is everyone and everything. For example, some people would say that atheists are evil, because they do not believe in a god. Is it really evil to have your own views? Everyone sees the world differently. In some people, the good shows more than the bad, and sometimes the bad shows more then the good, but they are both there. To say someone or something is evil is to imply that everything they do is done with ill-intent, and to say someone or something is good is to ignore the fact that they/it have/has flaws too. I think that good vs. evil is totally subjective. Even though other people may not understand why someone acts a certain way, the person who does the action does so believing that it iss the right thing to do. No one wakes up and thinks "I'm going to go break the law," or "I'm going to go ruin someone's day," or "I'm going to go be a despicable human being today." Everyone has reasons for doing the things they do, and although those reasons aren't always good, they are good enough for the person who acts upon them.
