Assignment 3

Is there a fine line between good and evil? yes. As far as actions go you can be a good person that makes bad mistakes, that is understood. The main difference is the motives for completing those actions. If one has selfish, self-rewarding motives for doing a good deed I don't believe that makes them a bad person, I just don't think that makes them a good person. There is some grey area around this concept. I believe it all comes down to selfishness vs. selflessness. Good people look for ways to help others, and assist others purely for the help they provide for the other. In contrast, bad people might do good actions, but do it so their social standard rises, or they get something in return for those actions. A prime example of a good person is Tim Tebow. He consistently goes out of his way to help others, and goes through extensive measures to make sure the media does not acknowledge his good doings because he does not want to be perceived as someone who does these good deeds in order to raise his social status. Good will always prevail over evil, but the battle will always be around. Good will never defeat evil, and evil will never defeat good.
