'There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so-, implies that what we reallY call evil is good in disguise. There is great wisdom in tile words of Shakespeare. -There is some soul of goodness in thins evil, would men observantly distill it out". There is no doubt that the end of good is in evil and the end of all evils is good. for, we must remember that if we want to be good. first we must believe that we are bad: and there is ram* truth in the statement, that to' the truly good man. nothing appears evil.
Man is free to choose good or evil. However there is no evil: it is our imperfect vision which sees evil where there is only good. All is well with the world. It is not entirely bad. at the most it can be said that the world is imperfectly good: man ha5 to realize the good or perfection: to do so, he must have faith in hiroself as a free agent. and God who will complete his endeavours, arid in immortal life, to complete his task and perfect himself. to overcome all evil in himself. All this apart, one thing is certain, there is nothing either good or bad and vice-versa, but thinking makes it so.
No man has ever progressed to greatness, but through mistakes. There is curious mixture of good and bad in us. We cannot be entirely good and completely bad also. If we are totally good. we are gods. and if entirely bad then we become devils. We are, as such, neither good no devils, but simply human begins; therefore, what is good with us is bad to others, and the position is bound to change. We may be as good as we please, if we please to be good. To be good, we must be good. or it attaches itself not merely to this life, it is greater and more than the life.
All that a man does is but the expression of his inward thoughts. To work effectively, man must think nobly. Nothing is so practical as our thoughts. Our views of life mould our life; our viewed of God mould our soul; and clearer the thought and purer the soul. the more successful and happier a life is ensured. Life is thought; to think is to live. Tolstoy spoke the truth. -Men suffer from thinking, more than anything else."
We must remember that good is a virtue, and bad is a vice. In the ultimate conclusion, virtue survives and the vice perishes. Good is that which is useful, whereas bad is that which is harmful. That what is beneficial, gives pleasure and brings profits, is good. Bad is that which is despicable. In fact, good and bad is the source of inspiration of an action. The seed determines the fruit. If the actions are good, it is certain that they cannot be inspired by the evil intentions and in the same way, on evil action can be the result of good thoughts.
Bad is only bad. and in itself is curse. We cannot do evil to others without doing it to ourselves. There is nothing truly evils, but what is within us. It is aptly remarked. "To be free from evil thoughts is God's best gift."
No man is free from evil. In fact God alone is good, and those alone have greater degree of goodness in them. who walk upon that path shown by Him. Good is power, whereas bad is weakness of the human character. Good is good in itself. and it cannot be the means to an end. A person is said to be good because he has diligently cultivated those qualities and virtues, which have lasting value.

Therefore, good is intelligent conduct which can be developed by the man only when he has comprehensive understanding of the evil. What is good in one society, in one age, in one pattern of culture, may be bad in another. One man's meat is another man's poison. What is considered good in Western society, is beyond toleration in Pakistani society. Hence, there is nothing good or bad and vice-versa, but thinking makes it so.
