It turns out that you yourself determine what is good and what is evil. You become a judge. And to top it all, you also declare that goodness can change over time and under the influence of circumstances. Besides, even worse, there are a million of you, and everyone decides what is good and what is evil. Therefore, when your good and evil collide with the good and evil of your neighbor, disputes and quarrels arise, and even wars break out.
