Good and Evil Versus Power and No Power

A very traditional line that we often hear in movies and other (normally fantasy) pieces of entertainment is "there is no good and evil, only power and no power."  I think this is an interesting concept, and the one I plan on exploring in the next post that I make.  For now I am just asking the question, is there an objective good and evil?  Or is it all about who has the power? 

Go to the poll on the right of the page to vote!  And also comment on this post with your opinion.  We'll see if we can't merge these concepts together.

  1. I think instead of power and no power it would be more accurate to say more power and less power. There almost always will be someone with more and less power, but the person with less may not have none, and the person with more may not have all.

  2. You are correct I think. What are your thoughts then if you term the debate in that sense?
