Good and evil is just the way humanity chooses to view the world, in truth these concepts should never be used to categorize people. In a sense we are all both good and evil, often in our own perceptions of ourselves and especially in the eyes of others. How do you weigh the good that a person does against the evil that they do? If a man takes a hundred lives and saves a hundred lives does that make him less guilty or less responsible for the lives that were ended? Is he less evil because he saved just as many lives? What if he was a soldier from your country, would that make him a hero in your eyes? Good and evil are always about personal perceptions of reality. People can easily justify their own actions, and in their own eyes they don't see their actions as evil.
