How could the energies have an affinity for good or evil if the the terms are entirely subjective?

I think I may have used the wrong word, but whatever. Let's just say, one is best for one thing, and the other for another. It's just like using fire energies is best for starting a blaze, while water energies are best for calling the rain to put it out. Good an Evil are Light and Dark, parts of the elements.

And there are more elements than Earth, Fire, Water, Air, and Spirit. You have to figure in sub-elements like Ice, Wood, Stone, Electricity, Metal, and such, along with forces that correlate with good, evil, order, and chaos.

Now, I sense that some major conflict in this topic is coming, so I'm staying the f*** out of it from here on out unless needed.

Nothing in the world is merely black and white. Even a "black and white" photo is made up entirely of varying shades of gray.

In the same way, it could be said that there is neither good nor evil, merely varying degrees of chaos. Nothing is or ever will be "pure".

Let us take, for example, a "good" deed. Let us say you put in an afternoon building houses for low income families. Why did you do it? People who do this are either a) forced to or b) enjoy it. While the net outcome is good, the person performing the deed is either neutral/chaotic, having no say in the matter, or being selfish, satisfying their own needs. The net is "good", but there is inherent chaos in the intention.

To classify something as "good" or "evil", "light" or "dark", is something none of us know how to do. Is shadow obstructed light, or is light obstructed shadow? We'll never know.

The difference between "good" and "evil" is delusion.
