There is always more to it then that. There are always two sides, both will have arguments that in order to understand you must think like them or know empathy. Due to the total lack of this in most humans, wars exist. If we could all know empathy then there would be no war, however knowing empathy is against most human nature as sad as it may be. It is so difficult to view something from a different perspective, of the person you are arguing against, however if you try hard enough, you may not like it, but you can sort of see it their way.
I feel empathy. I feel it to the point of total and utter open mindedness. This may not always be the case, and some days I may ignore my reasoning. I see through my optimism a day where arguments will cease, and public happiness will soon follow. It is politics that tear the country apart, and I can see why. Now this is not to say I have my opinions, but I know empathy, I know neutrality, and I can see that all arguing brings you is pain.
However something you must realize, skepticism is a good thing, of course in that future my optimism sees, it is a perfect future. It is not without flaws, but it is without war. Man will be able to settle disputes in diplomatic debates. In this future government will not exist, there will be no point. If we all have empathy, then we will feel an equivalent emotion when another does, and to feel equivalent emotion when another does means we will all be one. One general mind set that will define the human race with differences. Differences that we can accept, and cherish, and use to make society stronger.
I did not see this way. Until I watched a show called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. If you combine all episodes up to this point, this is the conclusion. A summary. So thank you for your time.
TL;DR: There is no such thing as good or evil, only different perspectives.
I apologize for any insufficient grammar, however I am fairly certain that spelling holds to standards.

| The impossible dream of utopia? Look at the internet around you. Go to ponychan, everyone is the nicest person you've ever met. |

| That is not a utopia. As long as people have minds, there will always be conflict, and MLP:FiM won't change that. |

Actually, I agree. There IS no Good nor Evil, only that which is percieved. Take cannibalism. It's bad right?
In South America some countries still have tribes that are cannibalistic. |

I'm aware that a show will not change it, it is just the greatest lesson I have learned from it. I don't need a show to spread my theory, and it probably wouldn't work, I take things and ponder them, sometimes even for years, I came to this conclusion because otherwise I would go mad. I fear I suffer from schizophrenia, albeit a very slight amount. If I do not write these things, it gets worse at an almost exponential rate, once I was sitting for an hour, screaming in my mind "I DON'T KNOW!" Over and over and over again, the only fix was to look at it from a neutral perspective.
So mad I may be, insane you may call me, but that does not mean I cannot rationalize. |

| I agree entirely. I mean, in one who does stereotypical "evil"'s eyes, they don't view evil as being evil, they see it being good and beneficial. |

| Insane? That's funny, because I'm the same exact way. I just don't support the idea of a utopia, because I know it's impossible and we gain nothing from it. We won't learn from mistakes. |

| Also, my dream of Utopia as I stated, is not without flaw. The human brain will destroy itself if there is no flaw, nothing to create, nothing to perfect. All we need is a general public mindset of neutrality, not saying we can't have our own opinions, just that with neutrality comes an end to much war and violence. |

This is a lie. Somebody does care. Perhaps OP's mother cares. |
