Evil is not the Opposite of Good, it's the Opposite of Truth

[Maxmars]

One can do evil utilizing both truth and falsehood.

So, clearly, evil is something other than both truth and falsehood and evil, while it can be as a result of a perversion of the truth, it can also be effected via the absolute and un-perverted truth.

So, the idea that evil is the opposite of truth does not stand. It is disproven.

I was with you...

Until you remarked, "It is disproven."

I felt that was out of place.

Evil is not the opposite of good... is a bit more tricky to disprove than a logical equation... although your logic is sterling.

I lean towards specificity in these topics... because generality is the challenge...  it's easier for me to reduce to end points, and work back towards the first hiccup first.

In this being disproven, we have to make the same assumptions as we proposed in the first place.  That evil is a natured thing, with qualities that can be discerned... frankly, I didn't know how far we'd get... I suspected lot's of trash about politics and such to take hold and destroy my chance at learning something, or finding something new to ponder.   But it didn't.

"Evil" could have been used to characterize those who disrupted the conversation with mischief and obtuse proclamations - supported with silence... assuming we were taking ourselves as seriously as some of us used to.  It isn't evil... it's not even deliberate sometimes... but I promise the characterization that such a thing was just 'evil' is high on list.

We call many things evil - that simply can't be... many objects, events, and such things as coincidences always are open for the notion...

So it is implicitly accpeted within the framework of the question that their is an OPPOSITE of evil....

How can any thing you can think of have an actual opposite?

There's got be a scale ... a metric... mental or otherwise... that defines the space between the two?
Or are the juxtaposed, pressed up against each other in a conceptual embrace, "it's either evil or ......" ?

Hard to argue for me.

I would offer, with the exception of the declaratory ending, that your assertion is valid...

But then the question is begged.... still....

What is it, or what dose it mean, to be "opposite" of some "thing" we can't actually define?

I would say the assertion requires a preliminary debate or two... but that's just me...

We host real debates here... not "social media" debates.

you're fingers are soaking in it right now...
moisturizing... no?


please do think on debate.... this topic is worth it... you're never gonna find a genuine dialogue in bot-land.
