Come to the dark side, Luke: Ben Edition

People are born good-natured. We aren't brought unto this world with hate in our hearts, but it can be afflicted by external forces, such as a feeling of dismay at the loss of a loved one. There is also no absolute of good and evil in humans, but it has always consumed us to put a reference on something that is absolute. Such can be found in religion, with a deity of goodness being all-benevolent, and a polar figure of malevolence. There's nothing saying that Ms. Kleppinger wasn't on her way back from abandoning some adorable puppies in the snow, resulting in her wanting to have some karmic shifting back to her side when she stumbled across an abandoned wallet. As far as "good" goes, who defines it's moral value and what place does the screwhead have to do so? The reply I get frequently is, "whoever there is the most of, are right" with the basis that even if they aren't they can forcefully make it so by eradicating the few dissidents that exist. Whenever I hear the reasoning, I always think back to a certain quote; "War isn't about who's right, only about who's left." Absolute good and absolute evil only exist in the unnatural and the ignorant.
