Today we continued our conversation on the good and bad vs the good and evil. I believe the sole difference on the good and bad is that the good in this comparison is the choice to make a good or bad decision, something that anyone can do, even an evil person. I believe the good in the comparison of good and evil is something that one is born with, it is the basic natural instinct of the human being. I believe Nietzsche's example of the bird and the sheep proves this. If the bird kills the sheep to survive the killing is justified and the bird is not evil or bad, but if the bird just kills the sheep for the sake of killing it then I believe this is evil. Another great point is brought up, he states that the sheep will ALWAYS view the bird as bad, because in the eyes of the sheep the bird is killing the innocent good sheep, this shows that good, bad, and good, evil is all a matter of perspective.
