All those "Good" Guys

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

"Which means if you aren't
stubborn and know when you
are wrong, you can't be evil."

Sorry that this caused confusion. I should have put it differently. What I meant was that if evilness is wrongness with (to coin the phrase) malicious intent, than if you do not know that you are wrong, you are not evil, but if you are well aware that you are wrong but are too stubborn to correct your mistakes, than you are. Better?

As to the rest of the thoughts, I quite like them. And it's most definately a nice idea to add a little LOTR reference to keep this thread from being taken away. Well here's some more: if Melkor could not create things of his own, only pervert and bend things to his will, and he had Sauron as his disciple, would it be possible that Sauron was really just a nice guy that had no choice in his actions and was simply being twisted and used by Melkor? That would still mean he's not evil. Hehe.

Correct me if I'm wrong however, because I really hate being wrong, misinformed, or corrupted by other people's thoughts. Hmm... guess I'm not evil, contrary to what my friend tells me!
