Good And Evil Synonym Novels & Stories

Esther suddenly went pale, as though all the blood had drained from her face. “You need to face reality,” Gaara said calmly, almost too calmly. “Don’t be so naïve, thinking this world is spotless. Sometimes the people who look the most virtuous are the ones hiding the darkest pasts or at least, the ones who’ve done wrong before. Good and evil, they exist side by side. One cannot exist without the other. We only call someone ‘good’ because there are ‘bad’ people to compare them with. You can’t separate the two.” Esther’s throat went dry. “Then… what about that senior of ours?” she asked, her voice no louder than a squeak. Deep inside, she was terrified her worst suspicion might be true.

One of the big things I wanted to highlight all throughout the novel was this idea of Good vs Evil. In my opinion, this is a narrative tool that waters down human experiences and does us all a disservice. What I mean is that boiling things down to just Good or just Evil isn’t an objectively good way to look at reality. Or at stories in general. Our lives are far more complex and nuanced than just those two aspects, and to paint people or characters as either/or is both lazy and misleading.

It was a bold question, however I knew that in order to make an impression, I needed to be bold. He took a moment to give my question some thought. “Some would say that good and bad are inferred differently by people. Some might think that I use my skills or ‘evil’ for bad; however I would argue that in the grand scheme of things I use my evil for the greater good. Sometimes we are forced to do bad things in order to get good outcomes.” I couldn’t help but wonder if his definition of the greater good matched mine. Only time would tell.

Good and evil, God and Satan, fighting it out for possession your soul? 'Yes,' I stutter; 'I suppose I do.' 'Fool!' she says, 'fantasies and lies to deceive yourself. Your soul is already possessed by something far worse.' 'God and the Devil are fantasies?' 'Yes.' 'Then what are good and evil? Aren't they real? What is my soul possessed by?' 'They are. Good and evil are inside us, but inside you there is nothing, nothing but empty desires that you don't want to fulfil.'

He said I would be purely evil and rarely good. "What do you mean?" Jayden asked, aware that Elliott had been nowhere near when William Robin had uttered those words. He even knew what was said when he was not there. "I am not as evil as he says I am. The struggle between good and evil in the hearts of other wolves has them fighting against their evil nature and trying to be good to keep the balance, as evil is in the heart. For me, it is worse. The balance has been tipped in my heart and I am more evil, but the good in my heart is there, even though it is like a shadow."

Thea closed her eyes. “Dare I ask what your purpose is?” “My purpose is to create life in more forms than you, even as gods, can fathom,” Life said. “And mine is to refine it,” Death added. “That’s why you helped us defeat Lilith?” “Your terms good and evil are simplistic, naïve, and reductive, but with your current ability of understanding, I will use them. Evil wants to stifle and destroy life. Good wants to keep it going. We’ll keep the good influences around over the evil for now. Sometimes destructive forces are useful. You already understand that, though.”

Ghost bellowed, "Like I said, I don't—" "You don't care?" Frank chuckled, cutting him short. "But I do." Ghost snorted coolly. "That's why I said you hypocrites sicken me!" "Hypocrites? Big words," Frank said quietly, spreading his palm. "Take, for example, the power of the spiritron vein—it can help but also hurt. Can you really define if it's good or evil? "No. It's not up to people to define good and evil, nor the genuine or fake."

“I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but come on, this isn’t the Middle Ages. It’s the twentieth century. Evil is just a concept. It’s just a way to talk about the values that society has. It’s not a force, or whatever you want to call it, and it’s certainly not justification for setting a man on fire.” “Is evil a concept? A name we use for everything that’s abhorrent in this life? Absolutely,” he said. “But it is also something more. Call it what you like, but surely, you’ve encountered it? Temptation so great you would betray yourself to satisfy it? Desire to take or to do harm for its own sake, or for the sake of the power it gives you over others?

She twirled her fingers as she said, “and both of them on an evil side.” Dionysus complied by twirling his whole body slowly while saying, “obviously.” “You are ready to go.” She folded her arm over her chest while the other stroked her chin. “But the energy they have are different.” “Energy…” Dionysus mumbled. She was talking about the energy emitted by both Ryuzaki and Amino. “Ryuzaki is more of moral evil. All his actions were on a smaller scale compared to Amino which is natural evil.”

I prayed to God before turning. I turned around slowly, just to meet eye to eye with the gun. This guy was aiming for my head and he said he will make me cripple. What an illiterate. He was going to kill me. Looking at the gun man's face properly, he didn't look bad if you would ask me, I'll say he is a 75.99%. All the guys here are actually fine... Oh sorry you don't use "fine" for guys, they are all handsome. If not that they were looking for guns and they had guns on them I would have thought they were models for an agency. I mentally slapped myself, Joba a gun is pointed at your face and see what you are thinking about.
