Good vs evil

Good vs evil :
Paradoxically the idea that evil exists is what generates evil.
I was watching an anime, called black clover, and i was telling myself that the hero in this anime never sit down and introspect about his beliefs on good and evil. The hero thinks that evil must be defeated at all cost thus becoming evil in the end. This lack of empathy towards others calling them evil is what makes you not understand their perspective thus having a black and white morality when in fact moral boundaries are complex. 
I don’t care even serial killers have a difference in their brains which causes them to not have empathy thus becoming serial killers.
The goal is not to defeat evil, but to integrate it as good in your worldview through understanding and compassion.

But why as good, not as what it is? Good is good, evil is evil. Both are an inevitable consequence of duality as black and white. But why most of folks here mix up the meaning of the terms - I have no idea. This is duality for god's sake, however relative, it plays a key role in self-knowledge. Sorry, I got a bit off topic. Other than that, I totally agree with you.

I think in a metaphysical sense there is no such thing as good and evil. It is us humans who have created these concepts based on our own survival needs as a species. It is indeed a mistake to fight against evil at all costs, because what is truly evil will eventually die off of its own accord. I think it is also a mistake to say we should accept and embrace all evil, as we should also think about our own survival.
