Summary
Morality is an extremely ambiguous concept. Even on a tiny planet like Earth, a simple particle of dust floating in the vast galaxy, no one is really capable of successfully separating good deeds from evil ones; and centuries of war, genocide, famine and oppression could very well prove it. In the galaxy, upon the hundreds of thousands of worlds scattered in the stars, it’s even more complex. What is good and kind is often circumstantial , affected by so many factors that no living being had ever been able to categorize. Likewise, what is evil is, by its own nature, defined by the lense of who’s judging. It’s such an ingrained personal process that two identical people, raised in the same environment with the same values; can still disagree. Every alien culture, of course, has its own take on morality, and it can’t be judged by human standards. Morality is not a tangible measure as much as a concept proving the emotional and rational evolution of a species.
Still, Terry knows what he’s doing is simply wrong.
