I don't think you can compare a concept such as evil with time and numbers. The names of our days and numbers are manmade constructions but not time and numbers themselves. They can be described with pure mathematics and are therefore real in an absolute sense within the limits of our perception.

You shouldn't post under influence btw

I don't want to go off topic, but...

You can, because evil is an idea, it is a concept. You can do something in one place that is evil, but doesn't count on another. Time is relative (depending on how fast you go). But maybe I wasn't right comparing the other two but you get the idea. We just put things in classes to understand them.

But ok, I get your point. But at least, you say there is no evil

^Sure, to say that there's no evil is to say that there's no good too.

I should (again) point out that I don't believe in 'Good' or 'Evil' in any absolute sense or theological application. I certainly think that some actions, such as helping people, are better than other actions, such as killing people. But that's an opinion, nothing more.
