Do you believe in 'Absolute' Good/Evil?

No, I believe people can blind themselves to others' suffering once they have decided some people are pure evil. Fascism is the closest thing to the concept of evil, as a mechanism of destruction.

If there is perfection of being good then there would have to be the exact opposite too.
But, being absolutely fabulous is far better.Like (2)

No, but "A Brady Bunch Reunion" came real close to the latter.

No. If you want more to this answer, I would be happy to elaborate but, in the shortest sense, imagine the eye of a hurricane to be truth and the chaos of the hurricane itself to be all things in life (good and bad)... How do you find the eye? Answer: by allowing life to pass through you, do "damage" and do "good" ... experience is the best teacher.

The easiest way to elaborate is through a story that been told a million times: "The Taoists realized that no single concept or value could be considered absolute or superior. If being useful is beneficial, the being useless is also beneficial. The ease with which such opposites may change places is depicted in a Taoist story about a farmer whose horse ran away. His neighbor commiserated only to be told, "Who knows what's good or bad?" It was true. The next day the horse returned, bringing with it a drove of wild horses it had befriended in its wanderings. The neighbor came over again, this time to congratulate the farmer on his windfall. He was met with the same observation: "Who knows what is good or bad?" True this time too; the next day the farmer's son tried to mount one of the wild horses and fell off, breaking his leg. Back came the neighbor, this time with more commiserations, only to encounter for the third time the same response, "Who knows what is good or bad?" And once again the farmer's point was well taken, for the following day soldiers came by commandeering for the army and because of his injury, the son was not drafted. According to the Taoists, yang and yin, light and shadow, useful and useless are all different aspects of the whole, and the minute we choose one side and block out the other, we upset nature's balance. If we are to be whole and follow the way of nature, we must pursue the difficult process of embracing the opposites.” ― Connie Zweig, Meeting the Shadow: The Hidden Power of the Dark Side of Human Nature

Do you believe in Entropy?
If it exists, it doesn't matter what I believe, it's still out there. If it doesn't, it still doesn't matter whether I believe in it or not.
As a concept, yes I believe. As a reality? Not sure. I find belief in absolute evil easier than absolute good, because it's easier to define.Like (2)

No, there is nothing absolute. Good has been known to have some evil and evil has been known to have some good. Its all relative.
