It's an interesting question. I think the concept evolved through time - for example, I don't want one of my friends to be killed, and so do you,
because it will result in sadness and anger - thus more killing. So killing became "bad", then there were other cultures later on with different
kinds of codes - like, you can be killed if society knows that you have killed, or stolen, raped and so on.
I mean, bad things are things that are bad for most people - murder, stealing, forcing people to do things they don't like. Good things, on the other
hand, are things we like to do for one another - love, friendship, making things together, working together towards the same goal, and so on.
So, my meaning is that the concept of good and evil has always been with us in one form or the other. Maybe it is genetic - maybe it is a coded thing
that we live together with each other to reproduce?
