What do likes and dislikes have to do with it? Consider the rape case I mentioned. Whether or not such an event is negative, wrong, evil, has nothing whatsover to do with our likes and dislikes. If a person is treated horribly, then something horrible, negative, wrong, evil, did take place.
I don't believe we become sophisticated when we get into this there is no good and evil business. If another being can be disrespected, harmed and caused to suffer, then there "is" such a thing as "wrong" activity.
I can understand why new age people don't want to be accused of being gullible, but for goodness sake, if they don't want to be accused in such a way, then perhaps they should stop acting accordingly.
Is this what the spiritual evolution of this planet needs? A bunch of people who could've helped this World but were taken in by their gullibility.
Just because new age source A says there is no good and evil, this doesn't mean that such a dichotomy doesn't exist. I'm not saying half of this universe is light and the other half is dark, but certainly negativity rears its ugly head in many ways.
I agree that a day will come when everything works out wonderfully, but perhaps we shouldn't make the mistake of counting our chickens before they hatch, because our aloofness will make it so they never hatch.
Quote:People take actions. Actions have results. Applying labels such as 'good' and 'evil' is simply a way of categorizing our likes and dislikes for particular results.
Obviously, if the results are not what is 'needed', a different course of action is recommended. Otherwise, I have no use for 'good' and 'bad'. Good and evil, as you like.
