...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.”
