Tolkien & killling?

What I was saying was that there is a right. There is a wrong. There is a point to it all. The point or the truth might not always be apparent, but that doesn't mean it isn't there or isn't knowable and shouldn't be sought. Also, yes there is right and wrong. In real life and in fantasy (that is in any way logical). That doesn't mean that if there are two opinions one must be right and one must be wrong. If someone thought that apples were oranges and if someone else thought that apples were grapes, they would both be completely wrong. But the fact that apples are apples remains. To relate that to this issue, there is a time and a place for everything including war. But to decide when the proper time is requires that there be an absolute, knowable truth that can be applied to present situations. Otherwise, there is no measurement. There is no standard. There is no definition and then all would be useless.

Also, a person or persons aren't completely, irrevocably good or completely, irrevocably evil.
