Good and Bad

Good and bad are the most common words which we use almost daily or occasionally many times in a single day. But do we give this word deeper thought before we use it? Like when you say this thing is good or that person is good, what exactly according to you made that person or thing good, and the second question which arises here is they are good for whom, for you, for society or for themselves. While labelling anyone good or bad what exactly came in your mind, what is your criteria to measure good and bad.

Good

Some people measure good and bad on a scale of morality but moral values cannot be considered as standard as it changes from culture to culture, if you are looking for a universal definition there ain't any universal definition for good and bad. One way to define good can be, anything which can somehow satisfy your soul can be considered as good. 

Secondly, it can also be defined as things which are in our best interest and in a larger picture benefits the world for a longer duration and has some permanent positive effects. So we can say that good is something which can be different for everyone.

Bad 

Just like good and every concept including bad is also defined by human, lots of people measure this concept on moral standards , and some people believe that bad is undeniably opposite to good, there are lots of way in which we can define bad, One way to define it can be  , anything which don't satisfy your soul is bad for you, means if you don't feel right about ,is bad for you, another group measure bad on its harm it can cause, like there are few things which we feel right, which give us joy in that particular moment but in long go it could be harmful to you. So in the larger picture things which gives birth to a negative consequence  on human life and the world are termed as bad.

Bind Between Good & Bad

Sometime things cannot be crystal clear good and bad are not parallel lines there are many point where they meet and in that condition it is very difficult to say what is it good or bad  ,it's not about what world believes there are situations where we get stuck between good and bad , we are not able to figure out what is good for example you are a person who preaches non-violence , but you are presented with condition in which if you will not use violence in defense not just you, you and  your whole family will be killed .What will be a good in that situation, killing is bad thing, but what about killing for saving many innocent lives? Like this there are lots of circumstances where good for you can become bad and bad can become good ,it depends on circumstances and your beliefs.

So we can say that good and bad is the point of view of the individual or  how someone notice different things based on their learning , culture , past and experiences , which helps them in decision making .
