Beyond Good and Evil?

Is evil relative? Is there a little bit of larceny in everyone? Today it’s easy to see evil as absolute. Just pluck from the grab bag of headlines about evil people say Ken Paxton, the attorney general of Texas trying to beat out the incumbent,  John Cornyn for the Republican senate seat nomination. There's  Cetco, Jair Bolsinaro luckily under house arrest in Brazil, naturally Putin, Kim Jong-un (who purportedly blew his uncle up with a mortar). Netanyahu washes his hands of Gaza by killing all the Palestinians and taking it over. The latest bit of treachery was the murder of 4 Al-Jazeera journalists. Marjorie Taylor Greene the embodiment of evil gets points for condemning the genocide. Where is the relativity, where the gray areas? Is there an ounce of good in Trump? Or is that like mistaking apples for oranges? It’s literally a new Ice Age. Can it be said good came from the previous one—to the extent that human life for good or bad might not have come to be without it?
