People seem always be interested in viewing the bad sides of other people, and they are not interested in their positive sides instead. It is also my firm belief that people have the ability to cheat, exploit and even hurt other people. On the other hand, people have a conscience that leads them to goodness. Our consciences categorize our behavior of hurting and exploiting others as bad inappropriate behavior, as evil one. This kind of bargaining between these two sides (the polar opposites of good and bad) has been a basic foundation of relationships among people. History has pointed out that there have been many moments when people proved to be releasing their evil side, their dark side. It is war. War is the organization of the human capacity to hurt and destroy others. These facts imply that collectively people can create evil deeds and actually, at the same time, they can also create the opposite.
