Is good really good & bad really bad ?
Right from our childhood, we are told what is good & what is bad & we are also told to watch our steps to ensure we must do what is good & must not do what is bad.
If garbage bin filled with filth was bad, then why dogs, pigs & flies like it so much ?
Is pain bad ? If pain were not there, could we know when we would cut ourselves ... & if pain were not there, why would we try to remove the malady ? Isn't it true that Pain is one of the best teachers ?
Is light good ? Then why does it kill the bacteria or scare cockroaches away ?
Is telling a lie bad ? Shall we tell the Truth to killer to help him find his victim ?
Is life good ? How do we know for certainty that life is good when we don't know what lies before or after the event we know as "life" ?
Is eating meat bad ? Then what would happen to millions of people who survive on meat because there is not much vegetation around them to depend upon ? ... and what would happen to carnivorous animals ?
So on & so forth ...

Can we say that :
Good & Bad are just mental concepts which have only relative meanings within a given environment / a set of parameters ... they don't have any absolute meaning. ... and that it is all in our mind.
