^ I wonder if Fitz would sigh and roll his eyes at that, before responding, "I have never been one for philosophy..." 
Such profound words 'thul beings and, as is the norm on this site, you have got my thoughts flitting off onto all sorts of pathways...as have you, danieladamsmith!
What is evil? Even if one is an atheist or non-Christian, should we think on things such as the Ten Commandments and contemplate how far we have come since their introduction as law? What is law? Are there degrees of evil or degrees of a crime or is it all just 'evil' and 'crime' and deserving of like punishment? Is all crime evil? Or should the story behind the crime be taken into account? Does it matter? What responsibility should the government, ruling party or members of a society take to minimise the need for 'desperate crime', such as providing food and shelter for the impoverished before they succumb to the need to steal for it? Am I evil? Do the mistakes I have made allow me to wear such a label? Just because society says it is evil, does it make it evil? Just because society says it is not evil, does that make it not evil? What is good? Are evils balanced or deleted by goods, or vice-versa? Do we need evil to know what is good? .........
