Human conception of good and evil and the gray borders between them.

*edit*

Split into its own topic.

For clarity, what defines good and evil? How do we arrive at our conceptions of right and wrong? What one society might consider evil, another might exalt. Who ultimately determines morality?

It is not merely the subjectivity of man, but the subjectivity of men.

I've been munching on this for a while:
why is shadow considered sinister, unpure, and deceptive? For the presence of shadow indicates the existence of light, does it not?

It's only "considered to be" that way because that's how you see it. I'm certain that there are many people who do not see things that way. Example - in the movie "V for Vendetta" (great movie, BTW) the character "V" only operated in the night time, and most of that movie was filmed at night. Conflictingly, the character (who performed many acts of terrorism, violence, and murder) was ultimately using those acts as tools of justice (seen as good, or "daytime" to some). As a clarification of humans' unsubstantiated fear of night time and of darkness:
Wikipedia wrote:
Night is often associated with danger and evil, because bandits and dangerous animals can be concealed by darkness. The belief in magic often includes the idea that magic and magicians are more powerful at night. Similarly, mythical and folkloric creatures as vampires, and werewolves are thought to be more active at night. Ghosts are believed to wander around almost exclusively during night-time. In almost all cultures, there exist stories and legends warning of the dangers of night-time.

That's an awesome arguement, I'm watching V again soon so I'll be sure to look at that.

Good and Evil is subjective, it's never clear cut.

Good and Evil is defined by ones moral boundaries and ethics. Everyones "line" is different, some think that murder for a righteous cause is okay but others believe that man cannot judge ultimately on someone. So good and evil is different for each person.

and it is the point in which the light is no longer present. It is the deceptive point of the light. The inconsistency.
