What's your understanding of good and evil?
Just for interest's sake.

Good is anything that you like and evil is anything that you dont like. Both are completely subjective to a particular point of view.

Personally I believe in the idea of Karma. Basically bad things we do will come back around to bite us. But to rigidly define good and evil is a matter of a personal truth. The ideas of good and evil are really pretty much abstract, besides the meaning that we each personally elaborate on. What is evil to one, may not be seen as that to all, and usually isnt.

There are no colors. There is no black and white. There is only gray in all of its wonderful vibrant and different shades. (An analogy) Personally I find gray very depressing.

I suppose the vast majority of fantasy authors make use of the first option offered in my poll when composing their works. (Of course, it would be another matter whether they personally subscribe to it in their lives.)

Women are evil. Beer is good.
