Hmm..good and evil forces?

The thing is, we only know good from evil (right and wrong) through our upbringing. I call it 'The protocol'.
For example:
Society A is populated by people who hit each other - it is the social norm. It would be reasonable to expect everyone of that society not to see hitting people as being wrong. And because it is the protocol of that society, future generations will be instilled with this behavioural pattern - thus producing a cycle of evolution.

I was brought up to respect my elders and to demonstrate good manners, therefore I would view someone who beat up an elderly person as being evil.
However, the 'attacker' may be from society A, and would not see his act as being anything other than 'normal behaviour'.

There are no 'outside forces', Ghost - merely your own sense of right and wrong, values that have been instilled in you by your upbringing and own intelligence.

As a footnote, I would suggest that there are certain people in this world that would have you believe that there were 'evil forces' at work. These people are usually of some religious bent, and have only one goal in mind...
