1. Psychological warm-up
Teacher: Girls and boys! Dear guests, hello. I am glad to see you at our class hour. My friends, are you ready to go? If yes, then please everyone look at me. I have to ask you. I will ask you to sit in a circle, relax and hold hands. Thank you. Now close your eyes and listen to the overture. You feel how this music flows straight into our hearts, filling them with confidence and calm. Mentally say to yourself: “I feel good! I feel good! I feel good!” (Now please open your eyes and give each other smiles. How did you feel? Why do you think?Children's answers.
Slide 1
Teacher: You are right, the music, your smiles, touching each other, the feeling of a friendly shoulder - all this influenced your mood. I looked at your smiling faces and noticed that the class became brighter. This is probably because good, warm-hearted people have gathered here. After all, kindness is the sun that warms a person’s soul. Let's read the words of M. Prishvin: “Everything good in nature comes from the sun, and everything best in life comes from man.” I think you can now tell what we will talk about today.Children's answers .
Teacher: I invite you to a conversation about good and evil.The topic of our class hour: “Good or evil - your moral choice.”
Slide 2.
Issues for discussion:
What is good and evil?
Good and evil in our lives
Man and circumstances
Mercy
Children's answers .
2. Working with concepts
Teacher: How do you understand the meaning of the words "good and evil "? Throughout its history, humanity has been trying to answer these eternal questions. Let's think together. Formulate your own definition of the concepts of “good” and “evil.” Independent work children in pairs using cards, continue...
"Good is..."
"Kindness is..."
“A kind person is...”
"Mercy is..."
One pair works using Dahl's dictionary.
Slide 3
Teacher: Look at the screen, please. Dahl's dictionary gives the following definitions for these concepts (these definitions are compared with the children's answers).
Slide 4
– Here's what an old Chinese parable tells us about it.
3. Re-enactment
Young man: Oh, wisest one, take me as your disciple, I want to know the truth.
- Can you lie? - asked the sage.
- Of course not! - answered the young man.
- What about stealing?
- No.
- What about killing?
- No...
“Then go,” exclaimed the teacher, “and learn all this.” And once you know, don’t do it! What did the sage want to say with his strange advice?
Teacher: Do you think the young man should have learned to be a hypocrite, to deceive, to kill?Children's answers.
Teacher: Of course, the sage’s thought was this: whoever has not learned and experienced evil cannot be truly, actively good. Do you think good and evil are related?Children's answers.
Slide 5.
Teacher: Let's watch an excerpt from the film "We are from the future." What can you say? Made by Sergey good deed or not? How do you think?Children's answers.
Teacher: You see. It is difficult for you to answer this question. His action cannot be called positive, because he pursued another goal, so that no one would hear the shot, so that the villagers would not gather and expose them... What kind of exposure do you think they were afraid of?Children's answers .
Teacher:
This means, my friends, good and evil are closely interconnected. Goodness is primarily associated with the ability to rejoice and compassion, sympathize, empathize, respond to the feelings of others and keep your soul open. Goodness is everything that is morally valuable, which contributes to the well-being of a person and society as a whole.
Kindness is a moral and value characteristic of a person, including such properties thanks to which he is able to do good. Such properties include responsiveness, attention to people, generosity, willingness to sacrifice one’s interests for the sake of others, the ability to self-restraint, selflessness, etc. A special type of kindness is mercy. This is mercy of the heart, pity, gentleness, compassion, love for people. Mercy is not weakness, but strength, because it is characteristic of people who are able to come to the rescue. The ability to sympathize and empathize is a sign of the spiritual maturity of a person. And tears of sympathy for another person are holy tears. They mean that a person has a soul and a heart. Guys, which of you can say that he is a truly kind person?Children's answers.
Teacher:
Do you remember when we conducted a questionnaire with you, where I asked you to name the kindest person in the class? Please look at the screen.
The majority named... I asked your teachers the same question and received an answer... (opinions coincided, did not coincide)
4. Study the main problem
You have questions on your table for discussion:
Is it possible to be kind at all without showing kindness in your deeds?
Is it possible to force a person to be kind?
Do you agree with the idea that the beginning of a good attitude towards people is the ability to forgive? Let's speculate.
Children's answers.
Teacher: Imagine that your offender found himself in a critical situation, for example, fell into an ice hole. There is no one except you. No one hears his cry for help. What will you do? And why?Children's answers.
Teacher: Evil is contrary to good. What kind of person is called evil?Children's answers.
Slides 6-13
Teacher: Evil and good live in our world.
Antithesis
Evil is everything that destroys a person’s soul. Good…(repeat every time)
Evil is war and betrayal, envy and greed, it is the persecution of people of a different nationality, a different skin color. (racism, genocide, extremism)
Kindness is helping each other, supporting Hard time, caring for one's neighbor, humanitarian aid, mutual assistance.
Evil is drug addiction, smoking, alcohol, depraved lifestyle, abortion.
Goodness is caring about health, the desire to help your loved ones and yourself. This is mother's love, children's love, love for neighbors. This is the moral basis of our society.
Evil is when the strong offend the weak, when the younger ones do not respect the elders, and adults do not care about children.
Good - when love rules the world!
Unfortunately, evil is very widespread and many-sided, it is insidious. Evil is often disguised and sometimes difficult to recognize. A criminal commits a crime, justifying himself with circumstances, a traitor explains his act by forced necessity, tyrants and dictators swore that they cared about the welfare of people, bringing suffering and misfortune to peoples. But this the mighty of the world this. How are we with you? ordinary people, can we help the world become kinder?Children's answers.
Teacher: A person must be judged by his deeds. Sometimes the germ of cruelty is so microscopic that it is sometimes very difficult to discern. “Well, beat, beat grandma,” he says with emotion. old woman to a three-year-old strong man. “Wow, how strong you are among us - super strong, look how grandma is in pain!” And with such innocent amusements the child is inspired with the idea that causing pain to others is funny and that this is your strength. What do you think will happen to this boy later?Children's answers.
Teacher: Could it be happy man bringing suffering to others?Children's answers.
Teacher: The Roman poet and satirist Juvenal said: “No evil person is happy.” And the tragedy in the city of Beslan in September 2004...Remember? What are there vivid examples self-sacrifice for the sake of the life of another person. 18 teachers died from the bullets of brutal terrorists while saving schoolchildren. Among them is 74-year-old physical education teacher Ivan Konstantinovich Kanidze, who saved 30 children and received 3 bullets in the back. The terrible disaster shook people, aroused the kindest feelings, and all the peoples of Russia provided assistance to the victims. They donated blood, transferred money, brought things and toys to the children. And we took part in this. Sewn by you Stuffed Toys were sent to the children of Beslan.
– Do we need to help the elderly, sick, poor people? Maybe we are in vain going to older people with concerts? Maybe it’s in vain that we come to the rally on May 9?
Teacher:
Do good to people, share joy and trouble with them, love, respect each other, be ready to help.
I invite you to listen to stories prepared by your classmates.
5. First story
"Close the embrasure"
The Great was coming Patriotic War. A company of fighters received an order to seize the heights. However, the attacks were drowned out one after another - a machine gun was continuously firing from the embrasure of the pillbox. Fulfilling the order seemed impossible... Then one fighter, creeping up to the embrasure on his belly, covered it with his body.
Teacher: Thank you. The height has been taken. This feat was accomplished many times during the war.
– How to explain the heroism of soldiers?Children's answers.
Second story
"Feat in Peacetime"
The trolley derailed, fell on its side and, with the edge of its body, flattened an armored cable suspended from a metal stand. A blue snake of fire, crackling ominously, crawled along the cable to the transformer. In a few seconds she will reach the camera and... the irreparable will happen... The transformer will explode. A fire will break out, and there will be people in the lava. Hurry!
“Disconnect! – Sergei is running around the cell. – Move the handle to the left until it clicks. The cell body is probably energized. There's death there. Instant. To the ashes... There are 6 thousand volts!”
And Sergei prevented the death of people, but he himself lost both hands.(V. Titov. “To spite all deaths...”)
Teacher: Thank you. I have questions for you:
– What made Sergei, risking his life, turn off the transformer?
– Is Napoleon right when he says: “A person’s spiritual strength is related to physical strength as three to one”?Children's answers.
Teacher: Training exercises
You were offended, misunderstood, you received a “2” (even more unfair), you got sick, an accident happened, you were betrayed by a friend. And then you feel anger, gloating. I want to take revenge, to offend, to withdraw. A feeling of insecurity appears - fear as a feeling of loneliness, lack of love, uselessness. You become weak, vulnerable, circumstances turn against you. How to accept correct solution in such a situation?
6. Exercises "Let off some steam" , "Growl"
These two exercises are done during training by paratroopers, who must act wisely and boldly. And feel free to train your endurance.
Exercise "Explain"
Take a blank sheet of paper, think, ask and answer the question: “Why did this person offend me?”
1) Because he treats me badly?
2) Because he thinks only about himself and does not notice when he offends others?
3) Maybe he wanted the best for me and doesn’t know that by doing this he’s only making things worse for me?
4) Or maybe what he said, although offensive, is actually correct and I really need to get rid of this shortcoming?
5) Or maybe he’s just very bad and I should help, forgetting about the offense? After all, I am stronger (smarter, older, younger, healthier, more self-possessed).
Unfortunately, there is hard-heartedness, cruelty, violence among people. A person leaves another person in trouble, bullies, kills... A mother refuses to take her child from the maternity hospital... There is no forgiveness for them, outcasts of the human race, and there is only one way to get rid of these phenomena - do more good. Our great benefactor Academician D.S. Likhachev believed that “the greatest goal of life is to increase goodness in the world.”
Slide 13
Let's now, in the remaining few minutes before the end of the class hour, increase at least a little goodness in the world, make flowers or one flower with good wishes each other. You can work in groups, pairs or individually, as you wish. You can use thoughts for your work wise people and folk proverbs lying on your table.
Thoughts of the wise
“Do good, so that by loving, good will find you. Do not commit evil, lest evil kill you.”
Destroy evil in the world
And above all, love.
Hurry to do good deeds.
And powerful work reigns for our benefit,
How can evil and darkness appear there,
Where do these wonderful luminaries shine?
(Goethe)
He was not known as a sage,
He was not known as a brave man
But bow to him:
He was a man
(R. Gamzatov)

L.N. Tolstoy
Teacher: Hello guys!
To create a psychological mood at the beginning of the lesson, students are asked to: smile at the neighbor on the left, the neighbor on the right, shake hands, hold hands with their neighbor and say in unison in chorus “HELLO!” And, now, sit down according to your colors on the vests.
I would like to start our class lesson today with a parable.
Once upon a time, an old man revealed one vital truth to his grandson:
There is a struggle in every person, very similar to the struggle of two wolves. One wolf represents evil: envy, jealousy, regret, selfishness, ambition, lies. The other wolf represents goodness: peace, love, hope, truth, kindness and loyalty. The grandson, touched to the depths of his soul by his grandfather’s words, thought for a moment, and then asked:
Which wolf wins in the end? The old man smiled and answered:
The wolf you feed always wins.
"Good and evil in the modern world." Good and evil. What capacious, important concepts! For many centuries, people have dreamed of a happy and prosperous life filled with high meaning and based on the ideals of goodness and justice, loyalty and honor, beauty and harmony.
People embodied their dreams in myths and legends, traditions and fairy tales, in which good deeds, duty, responsibility, and the desire to help others were the basis of relationships between people.
In fairy tales, good always triumphs over evil. How are things going in the modern world? Do good deeds, thoughts, and aspirations always remain noticed by others, and are evildoers punished? This is what our conversation will be about today.
Make a “cluster” for the words “good” and “evil.” Summing up by the teacher.
Good- this is what is honest, useful, serves the preservation and development of life, everything that helps people and nature benefits them. Guys, what do you associate the word “good” with, what object? For example, I associate goodness with a candle. Just as a candle gives light and warmth, goodness also gives people light and warmth.
Guys, what do you associate the word “evil” with?? (students' answers).
Evil is always destruction, suppression, humiliation. It leads to disintegration, to the alienation of people from each other.
Good and evil can be represented as two scales of the same scale, they are not always in balance. Constantly pulls first one, then the other. But which one will come out on top directly depends on each of us, on our thoughts, actions, desire to help others, and often on the simple desire to do good to people.
Tell me, do you like to do good? What good deeds and deeds have you done?
Have you ever caused harm to someone, even unintentionally?
Guys, there are leaves in front of you. Write down what actions you have done that you want to forget about, actions that brought trouble to someone?
Or those qualities that do not suit you, that you would like to get rid of?
Let's create an emblem of goodness together. I believe that the sun should be in the center of the emblem.
I will ask each of you to add rays to the emblem. And write your concept of good on the rays.
For me, goodness is selfless help to people. And I attach this ray to the emblem.
Children write their concepts and attach them to the logo..
Well, now let's rest a little. The exercise is called “COMPLIMENTS”
Sitting in a team, everyone joins hands. Looking into your neighbor's eyes, you need to tell him a few kind words, to praise for something. The receiver nods his head and says: “Thank you, I’m very pleased!” He then compliments his neighbor. The exercise is carried out in a circle.
Always do good and evil
In the power of all people
But evil happens without difficulty
It is more difficult to do good
Reflection.
I suggest you use paper cell phones to write an SMS message to a friend about how the class hour went and evaluate how fruitfully it worked.
Our class hour is coming to an end. Let's hold hands and feel each other's support. Together we are strong because we are friends!
We often use the words “evil” and “good”, “good” and “bad” in everyday speech, without even thinking about their meaning. These concepts represent the most generalized forms of moral and ethical assessment, which serve to distinguish between moral and immoral.
General definitions
Since ancient times, good and evil have traditionally been interpreted as the main dominant forces. They are endowed with an impersonal nature. These categories are central to moral issues. The essence of good and evil has been studied for centuries by philosophers, scientists, theologians, and artists. Evil is an ethical category, which in its content is opposite to good.
In a generalized form, it refers to everything immoral, which contradicts the requirements of public morality and deserves all censure and condemnation. On the other hand, the concept of virtue is inextricably linked with the category of good - positive property personality, indicating its high moral value. Vice is opposed to virtue.
What constitutes a good
The concept of good means everything that contributes to life, helps to satisfy human needs (both spiritual and material). This Natural resources, education, various cultural items. Moreover, utility is not always equivalent to good. For example, art has absolutely no utilitarian benefit. On the other hand, industrial development is leading humanity to the brink of environmental disaster.
Goodness is a type of spiritual good. In the moral and ethical sense, this concept is often used as a synonym for “good.” These words (good, good) indicate the most common interests, aspirations are what should happen in life and what deserves approval.
Modern ethics reveals the concept of goodness in several different but related aspects:
- Goodness as the quality of a certain action.
- As a set of moral norms of a positive nature.
- As a moral goal of activity.
- How moral quality personality.
The problem of good and evil: dialectics of concepts
In philosophy it is believed that the categories of good and bad are in close interdependence. There is no absolute good, just as there is no absolute bad. Every evil deed contains at least a tiny particle of good, and every good action contains elements of evil. In addition, good and bad can change places. For example, in Sparta, newborn children with physical defects were thrown into the abyss. And in Japan, once upon a time, old and helpless people were transported alive to the so-called “valley of death.” What is now called barbarism was once considered a good deed.
Even in our time, the same act can be regarded as bad and good at the same time. It directly depends on the context of the situation. For example, if a police officer takes the life of a serial killer in a shootout, then in this case killing the offender will be regarded as a good thing.
What is evil
Evil is an ethical category opposite to good. It summarizes various ideas about immoral acts, as well as about personality traits that harm other people. These actions and qualities deserve moral censure. Evil is everything that opposes the good of society and the individual: disease, racism, bureaucracy, various crimes, chauvinism, alcoholism, drug addiction.
The Good and the Bad in Kabbalah
Supporters of the ancient Jewish teaching called Kabbalah believe: as much good as there is in the world, there is exactly the same amount of evil. A person should appreciate both the first and the second, accepting with gratitude any gifts of fate.
As a rule, a person tries to avoid evil and strives for good. However, Kabbalists believe that this is not entirely the right approach. Good and evil should be valued equally, because the latter is a necessary element of reality that balances life.
A person should give thanks for evil in the same way as for good. After all, both of these phenomena exist for the same purpose - to push people to a higher level of development. Evil exists only so that God's creation can exist. If there were only goodness, it would be impossible to consider it. After all, good is a manifestation of the Creator. And in order to feel it, a person must initially have the opposite nature within him.
Religious ideas
Religion, in particular Orthodoxy, states: good and evil are the determining forces in human life. It's hard to disagree with this. Every person says about himself that he strives for good. If a person has not decided what is good and what is bad for him, what is black and what is white, then he is stepping on shaky ground. Such uncertainty deprives him of any moral guidelines.
The church fathers do not recognize good and evil as two equivalent principles. Similar dualism arose in the heretical teachings of the Gnostics and Manichaeans. Creative power belongs to good alone. Evil is corruption complete absence being. It doesn't have independent meaning and exists only at the expense of good, distorting its true nature.
Philosophers' ideas about human nature
Discussions about good and bad make us think about one of the critical issues: Which person is good or evil? Some consider him good by his inner nature, others - evil. Still others believe that man is neither good nor bad.
F. Nietzsche called man an “evil animal.” Rousseau, in his Discourse on Inequality, wrote that a person is initially good in his inner nature. Only society makes her evil. Rousseau's statement can be considered the antithesis of the religious doctrine of original sin and the subsequent acquisition of salvation in faith.
I. Kant’s idea of good and evil in man is also interesting. He believed that human nature is evil. It contains an ineradicable tendency to create evil. However, at the same time, people also have the makings of goodness. The moral education of the individual should consist in giving life to these inclinations. This gives them a chance to overcome their destructive tendency to do bad things.
Many philosophers believe that initially a person is still kind. Anyone who has given preference to evil in his life is an anomaly, an exception to the rule. Good and evil in the world can be correlated like health and illness. The one who chooses the good is morally healthy. The evil one suffers from moral illness, ugliness.
What is jurisprudence based on?
There is a principle in law based on this idea. This is the presumption of innocence. According to this concept, a person is considered innocent until compelling arguments are presented to prove his guilt. In other words, all citizens are considered initially respectable - not violating laws and morals. A person is found guilty only in one case - by a court decision. If people were initially evil or neither evil nor good, then this principle would have absolutely no moral justification.
There is another indirect argument in favor of the fact that people are intrinsically good - the concept of conscientiousness. It is unlikely that anyone will deny that conscientiousness is an indispensable condition for any professional and creative activity. Everything that is created by man on planet Earth is the result of his conscientiousness.
Is “goodness” added to the word “conscientiousness” just for a catchphrase? Or is it still essential condition definitions of the described phenomenon? The answer here is clear: if a person were not internally directed toward goodness, then there would be no conscience, no honest performance of one’s work.
What kind of people predominate in the world?
It is difficult to give a definite answer to the question of which people are more numerous - good or evil. After all, there are definitely no good and bad. Each personality contains both. But sometimes it happens that a person makes more mistakes than right actions. And then they can say about him that he is angry, although this will not fully characterize his nature. Mistakes are an inherent property of Homo sapiens. They cannot be avoided.
Good and evil in the world are often difficult to recognize. Kindness can be hidden from strangers. For example, a good person does good deeds based on the biblical principle: “When you give alms, let left hand yours doesn’t know what the right one is doing.” On the other hand, evil is always better organized. There are all kinds of criminal groups and gangs that are ruled by money and robbery. In order for their “plans” to be carried out, the bandits have to be better organized. Because it's noticeable, it feels like there's more in the world. evil people.
The confrontation between good and bad: which wins?
People often wonder why good triumphs over evil. Indeed, in many fairy tales and films, justice ultimately triumphs, and all enemies and negative characters get what they deserve. In life, a person who has done a bad deed must also “pay the bills” after some time. If he is not punished by his kind, fate itself will take care of it. Goodness and justice win for the reason that to create good things requires activity, courage, courage. In other words, being evil is always easy and simple. It takes effort to be kind. Since evil is devoid of creativity, it always turns out to be short-lived.
I’ll explain my position right away. I am a free person (in terms of relationships), and therefore I have a huge amount of time and a desire to help people. BUT for some reason, in the modern world, people do not believe at all that they can get anything for free.
Last year I posted two advertisements on Avito. The approximate content was:
1. I will repair your broken computer, and I am ready to solve almost any breakdown (there are hopeless cases). I will do this completely free of charge in the context of the metro line from Studentskaya to Kuntsevskaya.
2. I will teach you how to use a computer and office programs, again in the same section of the metro line.
There were no responses, none at all. A month passed, the ad was removed from publication, and I thought about how this could happen... I called a friend and invited him to take part in the experiment. We placed two absolutely identical advertisements, again in the context of a piece of a metro line. Friend for money, I'm free. The result of the experiment, my friend is in chocolate, I don’t understand the situation. Somehow... Why did we stop trusting people, why if it’s free, then this is clearly not our option.
But I didn’t stop there either. Well, I think okay, maybe people don’t need to repair computers in this subway section. I’m glad that everything is good and positive for people in this regard. I posted another ad earlier this year. I will quote his text:
"Good afternoon. Thank you for your attention to my ad. So let's start with how I can be of assistance.
1. Computer repair, almost any kind.
2. Repair household appliances, also any, with the exception of LCD and plasma TVs.
3. Minor electrical wiring repairs, replacement of sockets, switches, rewiring of chandeliers. Many people value old chandeliers for a number of objective reasons.
4. Hang shelves, lamps and other interior details, for which you need to pre-drill a hole in the wall. There is a hammer drill.
5. In our wonderful area there is an Auchan store. I noticed that many women and girls carry heavy bags of groceries alone; I am ready to meet you at the exit of the store and help you carry heavy bags home.
Well, now a little explanation. I am a free person, I don’t have a girlfriend, and therefore there is a huge unspent potential to do good and do good deeds. Therefore, I do all the above points completely free of charge, but with only one small amendment, these points are indicated for a piece of the metro line from Studencheskaya station to Pioneer metro station.
Have a great day and good mood."
And again silence... I won’t drag my friend into this idea anymore. It's just surprising that real help no one needs it at all. Sometimes you look for an advertisement asking for help, find out, discuss the essence of the problem, and as soon as you tell the person that it’s all free, the person stops any communication.
Is it really so deeply ingrained in our heads that we have to pay for everything? After all, there was a time when they extended their hand to a person in trouble and did not ask for anything in return. We shoot each other's cigarettes, so why do we refuse help when a person offers it? Indeed, in fact, many are waiting for exploits, but it turns out that there is absolutely no room left for exploits in our lives. You're on the subway, you see a man lifting a cart up the steps, you help him, and he looks at you like you're an idiot. But they say, if you want to change the world, start with yourself. So I started, but this only made me even sadder.
Let's treat each other a little kinder and believe that among us there are people who are ready to help, lend their shoulder and ask for nothing in return. It's so simple. A person helped you, you feel good, you feel better. You tell him thank you, and he will be pleased.
I'll finish with this. Thank you very much for taking your time to read this article.
Good and evil are the basic concepts of morality. Every person has been taught these aspects since childhood. Everyone measures their actions against this standard. It has a name - morality. Every child is taught to distinguish between good and evil, what is good and what is bad. Children are not able to fully evaluate their actions and their consequences. But teenagers already clearly understand what is what. And sometimes they consciously choose evil and vile actions.
Good is a person’s actions aimed at benefiting another living being. Good people needed always and everywhere. They bring light, warmth and joy. It is impossible to live without such people. They keep society from moral decay. Goodness is the only salvation in the stormy ocean of tough life.
If there were no kindness, the world would soon end. The strong would destroy the weak without a second thought. The harsh laws can be clearly seen in wildlife. The scary thing is that the predator is relentless, he has no pity or compassion. But he has a goal and he will achieve it by any means. Unfortunately, today there are more and more “predators” among people, tough and ruthless. The only thing that can stop them is cruel treatment if they are pushed to the wall. They will never stop on their own. This is what makes evil so scary. It won't stop. The only way to stop him is through brute force, but not everyone has it.
Life is about struggle. The fight between good and evil. Each person decides for himself what will be more in his life. It all comes down to moral choice. If an individual chooses good, then his life will be filled with love, tenderness and light. Other people will be drawn to him. But, if the choice falls on evil. One, two and more. A person's life will get worse and worse. The person will be filled with anger, rudeness, hatred and rage. Soon it will become unbearable for those around you. Everyone will avoid him and reduce communication as much as possible. Few people want to communicate with an evil person. It does not help to grow and develop, but only pulls down, towards degradation.
But there is a way out of this too. It all starts with awareness and recognition of the problem. This is a step towards correction. Next, you need to change your thinking and bad habits. This is the most difficult thing. You need to start doing good deeds and helping others. Over time, life will change and joy will come.
Option 2
From childhood we are familiar with the concepts of good and evil. Adults explain to us every day that it is good to be good, and bad to be bad. The police insist on crossing the road only when there is a green light or at a zebra crossing; doctors persuade us that getting sick is bad. Why bad? If it allows you to not go to school, lie in bed and eat a lot delicious dishes prepared by a caring mother. Firefighters warn that matches are not a toy and are evil in the wrong hands.
At school they say that a B is good and a C is bad. But no one can answer the question of who decided this and why.
All their lives people are put in situations where they are confronted with different things in black and white, in good and bad, in good and evil. And a person is obliged to choose one of the sides; he has no right to be neutral, because in society you are either a worthy citizen or not.
Even religion has its good and its evil. Nor can fairy tales make do with only positive examples. They definitely need the evil sides of life in the form of the Serpent Gorynych and the Nightingale the Robber.
Helping those in need is good, humiliating the weak is evil. Everything is simple and clear. And it is not at all difficult to distinguish between these two concepts. But which of them is stronger by nature and by nature? After all, today evil is presented as good. Or more precisely, if before people They categorically said: “to steal means a thief!”, Now they are finding a bunch of arguments to continue the logical chain: “to steal means a thief, that means cunning, that means rich, he can buy himself and his loved ones a comfortable life, that means well done!”
The fine line between light and dark has been erased. And it was not circumstances that erased it, but people who are engaged in substituting concepts today. If it is profitable to be kind, I will be; if it is practical to be evil, I will be. The duplicity of people is scary. It became completely unclear where it had gone: pure, quiet and selfless goodness. Although if you really think about it, the answer is there. Evil has swallowed up good.
Now, in order to be good you need to go through seven stages of evil. Steal, deceive, destroy. And then build churches, help sick children and smile at the cameras, smile endlessly and enjoy being so beautiful and kind. A good man who ruined thousands of souls before he decided to lay the foundation of a new temple or hospital.
There are no concepts of good and evil now. They do not act as a separate front, they are a single fist that hits when it is not necessary and strokes when it is no longer necessary.
Essay on good and evil
The theme of good and evil is as old as time. For a long time, these two radically opposite concepts have been fighting for the right to triumph over each other. Since time immemorial, good and evil have made people argue about how to separate black from white. Everything in life is relative.
The concepts of good and evil are collective. Sometimes a seemingly good deed leads to negative consequences. Just like in an evil deed, some find advantages for themselves.
Good and evil are always inseparable, one does not exclude the other. For example, if for one person some news brings joy and brings goodness, for another this news may cause grief and negative emotions, accordingly, carry evil in oneself. Sometimes people identify certain objects and phenomena with evil: “money is evil, alcohol is evil, war is evil.” But if you look at these things from the other side? The more money, the more independent and wealthy a person is - he is well-fed and happy, he is ready to bring good to the world. Alcohol in small doses, paradoxically, can also bring goodness - one hundred grams of alcohol served at the front during the war, raising the morale of soldiers and acting as a pain reliever for severe wounds.
And even the war itself, a seemingly completely negative phenomenon, also carries in itself a piece of, if not good, but a certain benefit: the conquest of new lands, the unity and brotherhood of the allies, the cultivation of the will to win.
According to tradition, in fairy tales and films, good always triumphs over evil, but in life justice does not always triumph. But when planning to do something mean to someone, you must always remember about the universal “law of the boomerang” - “the evil emitted by you will certainly return to you.” Let's start with ourselves, be kinder and more merciful to each other, and maybe then in our cruel modern world there will be a little more good than evil.
