...we must 
         bear in mind that 
                the terms 
good and evil are 
          only applied relatively, 

so that 

the same thing may be called both 
                      good and bad according 
to the relations 
in view, 
    in the same 
way 
     as it may be called perfect or 
                        imperfect. 

(3) Nothing 
        regarded in its own nature can 
                         be called perfect or 
imperfect; especially 
                 when we are aware 
that 

all things which come to pass,
                 come to pass 
according to the eternal 
                            order 
and fixed laws of nature.”

--- Benedictus de Spinoza. “Improvement of the Understanding.”
