What is good and evil? What do these concepts mean for us, and more so, for the human experience? A decent definition of what is 'good', I think, is what is 'free'... and a good definition of what is 'free', is what is 'human' - and what is the human being not, but a paragon, or an apotheosis even, of freedom? I would say that this freedom which define us means that the human being, as subjectively experienced, is culpable of every virtue and vice of every action he or she makes. This means human beings can wilfully choose to be 'evil'. What means 'evil' then? I would say, anything or anyone wishing or conspiring to destroy or cripple or delimit freedom, is evil. The destruction of freedom is the epitome of evil. Thence, everything that is indeed evil will teach you that you have limited freedom. What is good is what is free - and what is evil  is what tries to destroy what is free.
