Good vs. Evil

I do not believe in absolute good or evil. There many examples of absolute good vs. evil and most of them are fictional ones that are made up in controlled worlds and environments just as Harry Potter vs. Voldemort is. The first and main reason that I do not believe in absolute good vs. evil is the main fact that I have faith in the fact that people can change over their lifetime. Unlike in fictional worlds, the real world is a place in which people have a great amount of room to change their perspectives and outlooks on life. I have seen this happen first hand. I have played in many, many, many soccer teams in my lifetime and as a result have played with many different players. Some of these players were not the most kind hearted or easy going players. Most of these type of players at the beginning of a new season were often downright mean to many of his teammates. As the season went on these players began to become more comfortable and friendly towards the team and some actually even became nice. This is just a personal example of the fact that even though some people may start out being evil natured or even be that way for the majority of their life, there is always that probability that they have a change in heart and become good. This can also work in the other way. Just as I have seen teammates become more good over the coarse of a season, I have also seen first hand some teammates for one reason or another become more mean or evil as the season goes on. These are the main reasons that I don't believe in absolute good vs. evil. The good vs. evil that we see in movies or in books is on in which the antagonist and protagonist often come from two opposite and conflicting worlds as you see in Harry vs. Voldemort. So I do believe in the fact that in the real world there can be bits of good vs. evil seen in many places, but the majority of these relationships are not absolute and will most likely change in some way over the coarse of a short or even long period of time.
