Come to the Dark Side, Luke- Mikaela Gatewood

The line between good and evil is generally indistinguishable. It's a grey area, shaped by each individual's personal beliefs and morals. Good and evil are not things that you can simply define or limit to specific actions. What someone may believe is right, another may take as wrong. War, for example, is often a widely disputed idea. It's been argued that war is never the answer, that taking human lives isn't an effective way to solve an issue. However, it's also been argued that war may sometimes be the only defense, or the most effective in drastic situations, and is overall unavoidable based on human nature. One cannot say which side is right, because that would be saying a single opinion is correct. The idea is entirely subjective, as is the difference between right and wrong. Everyone's definition varies. Because of these differences, there can never be one without the other. There will always be someone who disagrees with another's idea of good and evil. So while there may be no war between clear cut ideas of good and evil, there will always be war between people's definitions of them.
