Do you guys believe in Good vs. Evil? Do you think that there are such definitions that we can apply to people? In the show Heroes, there are people with special abilities split between different sides. And although some act in ways we would consider good or evil, none of them are ever totally one or the other. It all depends on the choices they make that leads them in different directions. You could call most of the characters morally gray. So do we live in a morally gray world, or one of absolutes? Can one side ever win? If good attempts to kill evil, isn't that going against everything it stands for? So what do you guys think, does good and evil even exist in the first place?

I think based on the choices that you make you could be considered good or evil. I guess it just depends on your definition of what good and evil is.

Is it choice or the consequences of that choice? I think it is a conditioning process that develops the ideas and perspective of morals, good and evil. If a caveman lit himself on fire and got badly burnt, he is not going to go right back to playing with fire. He may become scared, preventing him from attempting to do the action that caused the phobia in the first place. Its a action and reaction that helps shapes one's morals.

I think that good and evil exist at a lower level than people may take for granted. Good vs. evil exist as people make choice and choose to be heroes or villans. People make decision pending on what is right and wrong. Good and Evil exist if we allow it to exist. Hopefully people be the heroes we dream of
