What is good, what is evil
- On a personal level we each choose what is good and what is evil
- On a social level these terms should be defined by the majority
- Social rules should be defined by the morality of the majority, according to their definitions
At a low level, most poeple agree with aspects of Natural law, such as being truthful and every persons right to life, property, self defence. Accordingly people who act according to these rules could be considered good and those that don't could be considered evil.
The power of evil
In a competitive environment, such as climbing to positions of power, evil people will have a distinct advantage over a good as they have at their disposal many more effective tools to succeed.
A governing system that creates positions of power will over time result in the evil ruling over the good morality of the majority.
