The act of eating is a service.

[Tenet Nosce]

Shin'Ar- My apologies if you felt "bullied".

secondly, this particular response in this thread was in answer to Monica's inquiry about whether or not the human can really know right from wrong.

Actually, I thought the quote was from your reply to TheEternal:

I would just not want someone to misinterpret your words to mean that if we accept that we can by nature also be evil, that simple understanding of that makes evil suddenly a good thing, or creates a situation where there is no real aspect of difference between good and evil.

So you were still responding to Monica? That's probably where I got confused.

seriously wanting to understand my reasoning.

Yes- I was seriously wanting to understand if you really believe that people in this forum are advocating for evil.

And if so, how you are defining evil. If you offered this information earlier, I am still missing it. The best I think I can come up with is that you would say evil is going against one's inner moral compass. But I much prefer to ask people to restate their own beliefs rather than put words into their mouths.

But I admit to not really knowing why he seemed to think that I had suddenly become focused on good and evil.

I think it had something to do with this post, where you used the word "good" seven times, and the word "evil" nine times. Not that there is something "wrong" with that- actually "good and evil" is one of the topics being discussed relative to eating as a service. So you were on point.

The question I had was not about why you were talking about "good and evil" in general it was about why you felt moved to issue a warning/admonition against people thinking that evil is good, based on the previous discussion. I just was unable to follow how the previous discussion could lead a reader to conclude that "evil is good".

You appear to have a marked concern about people concluding that "evil is good" and using that to justify and make excuses for morally reprehensible acts. I'm interested to know what drives this concern. For example, have you seen this happen in your own life with somebody you know? Or are you concerned about society and the general lack of moral character? Or...?
