The concepts of "good" and "evil" are completely conceptual and therefore may be interpreted differently by different people. If one goes with a standard definition of both, it is clear that they are two sides of the same coin. One cannot exist without the other because if evil no longer existed, how could we define good (and vice versa)? Everything, I believe, can be defined as being either good or evil, even supposedly neutral actions. Let's say you saw a wallet on the ground and decided not to pick it up. This supposedly neutral action has in fact had results that one could easily interpret as negative. By leaving the wallet there, you are not only not helping the person who dropped it, but you are also indirectly giving someone else the chance to steal it. At the same time, you give someone else the chance to find it and take it to its owner. Basically, you are leaving the result of your actions in someone else's hands rather than your own, and that result can either be good or evil depending one what he or she decides.
However, no one is truly evil, and at the same time, no one is truly good. Even those such Hitler or Stalin have done good deeds, and important religious figures have committed sins. As long as life exists, so will good and evil; it's an inevitable
consequence of being sentient creatures and having the ability to decide
our actions.
