What is good and what is bad

Is there border between those? And if there is a border then it's very thin and transparent. Must be long time back there was neutral absolute..but later people figured out norms and values..positive and negative, right and wrong, good and bad.

How to define what is bad and what is good. Its like one and the same thing/event can be as good for one person as well as extremely bad for another. Then? Where is the truth lies? Or maybe mankind shouldn't have figure out all those definition....trying to classify things which are beyond any classification.

Tough :)

  1. for a defination of a good is opposite values of a bad n vise versa...its very hard....nt exactly hard form one's prospect coz the concept lies in the thought of one's mind....like in physics we refer frame of referance same concept goes for the concept of bad and good...that is they are not universal same as their other counterparts like grief or happiness etc etc....but mostly we try to figure out some thing common that most of the ppl in society can share and most importantly chossing a good or bad point could b a life time decesicion so while choosing we often try to convince ourselves as the best possible way... and once taken thr shld b no more 2nd chance...and abt the boundary line ....welll i belive there is no boundary line in between ....and even if it exists then ti ll b lik a thin line created by the scale u hv placed on the table ;the moment u remove the scale the line vanishes....n lastly there is no moderate way....though even lord gautam buddha once speak abt mijjhim panta that is the follow of middle bt in reality it is not possible....even in reality we hv seen people their characters n 4m thr we cn give ourselves millions of example that human can go 4 a middle way coz the only thing a human brain cn addopt is either left or right .... :)

  2. yeah there is something common which society try to follow...but....
    for example
    Woman is passing away (according to common opinion its bad) while giving birth to a child (its good)

    Thief stealing money to feed his kids..... husband leaving his wife for his lover....

    we can decorate these situations either black or white colors...even if there something common for society...some norms....still we cant distinguish what is bad/good....coz its always neutral.... n "color" varies from person to person.
