For an act to be evil, you must first perceive it, process and then conceive it as such. Then these acts are effects. They’re not causes. And by this I mean that these acts are not of Stream. Now we ask the other question again. What does it take for something, here specifically Stream, to be good or evil? Dew Platt
About This Quote

The first question, “What does it take to be good or evil?” is tough for many people to answer. The second question, “What does it take for something to be good or evil?” is easy. We can answer this by saying that something must be perceived as good or evil before we can conceive of it as such. We think of words and actions as good and evil because we perceive them as such. That is why we believe that the things we do are wrong, and those we don’t do are right.
