Good and Evil

"Is the world divided into good and evil, and is man thus halved? I think that that is where lies the difference between a “romantic” and a “realist.” Romantics see the world as a battle arena between men, of whom some are good and some are evil. Realists see the same battle, but primarily within man himself. I think that the latter is closer to the truth." Alija Izet Begovic

To be good, is to be above the self and to be evil is to be below it.. it is a matter of intelligence and stupidity..

I agree with the latter too.I believe every one is born good. But people forget their good nature by following their whims and desires that lead them to doing the wrong and evil. Thank you.

Our life is shaped by the choices we make. Thank you.

My apologies, I should have written his full name. It's Alija Izet begovic. He was the first president of Bosnia. He was also an author, and philosopher.
