Assign. 3 Make-up post.

I'm not even sure how much this will count for at this point, but here goes. This is based on the Good v. Evil prompt. I'll have the late pass Monday.

I believe that there is no such thing a pure good and pure evil. Sure, people can do generously good things, like return a $4600 wallet, and terrible things, like 9/11. I'm a firm believer that there is a gray area between both sides, and not a line separating them. I personally think that there are even no sides to begin with, that society as a whole is one gelatinous blog of good-evil. All people make mistakes. All people have their motivation. What's considered "evil" and "good" is based on perspective. For a hypothetical example, a guy who robbed a bank might of thought he was doing justice because said bank ripped him off. A typical jury would probably find said man guilty of theft, but he simply thought he was getting even.

The only thing that little ramble didn't answer is that can good vanquish evil and vise versa. And the answer to that question is no, it can't. It comes down to this; without evil, there can be no good, and without good, there can be no evil. It's like a coin. You can't have a one-sided coin.

So that's that.
