Individual judgements

I am writing to bring my thoughts of Good and Evil to the Sapience, I know most of you are tired in hearing about it but if you have the patience and time please read.

Since the birth oh Life and Creation and the ability of Thoughts and Compassion the thinkin races has almost all the time stated what Goodness is and how to achieve it. Most say that beeing Good is to live in harmony, help people in need, not to steal, not to murder etc etc. After some time this Thoughts became written and stated as laws, and if they were broken a punishment were to be brought amoung the traitors that had broken the Law.
they were broken a punishment were to be brought amoung the traitors that had broken the Law.
This kind of thinkin was almost identical almost all over the Lands and it was many who worked hard to keep it this way because they felt that this was the way of Life.
The criminals, those who broke the Law or questioned it, were left to die in cells or they were hanged in front of crowdes so that Honest people could watch how criminals were to be treated. Many escaped from the cities and tryed to live on their own, not because they disliked the Law and its way of thinkin, not because they felt threatened by it, only because they couldnt live with it, they felt or thought different and wished to be able to express this in all of the ways they wanted

Now where did the thinkin come from, it was granted to us by The Logos, why?, so we could make decisions and have beliefs and freedom of lifepaths. Many sought after the Good life, many didnt.
Many understood that Good and Evil was only thoughts and beliefs and werent Facts and untill this day they arent. They said that Goodness and Evilness couldnt be defined. Why? Because if You asked the man in the cell, he would say that the law is Evil, if you asked the Judge that had sent thousands of men and women to death and lifes in cells, he would say that the Law is Good. Therefor we have one item, one book of beliefs that is said to be both Good and Evil, is the Law both Good and Evil?
Many said "No, how dare you insult the Law like this!!"
The thinkers who understood that beliefs like Good, who are beliefs, couldnt be stated like Facts could and still can. A man that lived 2000 of years ago looked at a tree and said that the tree had a body of brown and a crown of green. A man that lives now, if he would look upon the same tree he would say that it has a old body of brown and a old crown of green. As we could ask anyone with the ability of Thoughts too look upon this tree and they would say the same thing as the first man did, 2000 years ago.
If you asked that man if he could define what is Good and what is Evil and he would have told you this and you would asked another man now if he could define what Good is and what Evil is you wouldnt get the same answer would you?
What we see is that Good and Evil has changed their shape, but the tree looks the same only that it has grown old with Mother Nature. Stating that Good and Evil arent Facts that can be defined, they are to be defined by the Individual, they hate eachother still they hold hands because if one of them banished the other one would too.

This is all for now...
