    Humans made the concept of good and evil. They also made the idea that is relevant to them being morals.

    I believe that the concept of right or wrong...good or evil...stems mostly from common sense and the will to think of the consequences mostly.

    For me its a matter of consciousness. No one in there right mind would comit "evil". Thus it must be a matter of people hearing there common sense but choosing to override it as they do not have the ability to control their minds.

    I think the first one can be worked on. The second one really can be a bad problem to have. It doesn't go away or get better.

    Morals are based on the culture and where your environment is.

    The idea of morals started when we created societies. It was used to control behavior when laws were created. But morals change constantly.

    And good and evil are only concepts. It is really opinion based and depends on the experiences of the individual. Some ones good can be some one else bad, and vice versa.

    Both tend to blend together and create society itself, though. Its something that most of us try to live by almost unconciously

    Your environment can have a heavy influence on what you are. I grew up in New Jersey where just about everyone is either morally challenged or evil. I became morally challanged myself by their teachings. BUT I moved away because I did not want to become evil. After I lived elsewhere for so long, I became a better person.

    Not in my opinion. It's a matter of degrees of madness.

    Believe it or not, I agree with you. A morally challenged person is just simply that...a person who has good intentions but have the worse way of going about it. Most politicians are actually a combination of greed, stupidity, and cowards. However, there are some true, brave leades among them.

    oh well, one day money will be worthless and people will be pushed to much in to a corner, then those few genuine leaders will find they have the army they need....it may not be an army that bring violent war...but an army none the less.
