Come to the dark side, Luke- Emily Chavez

I do not think there is or has ever been a person who is good with no evil, or evil with no good. While the good in people may be more prominent than the evil, that doesn't mean they do not occasionally have malicious intentions, and visa versa. The idea of complete evil and complete good leave no room for everyday people. Day-to-day people are not completely either. Someone could seemingly be the kindest, most selfless and loving person in the world, but that doesn't mean they cannot have moments of evil. Same goes for evil-some have times of compassion.
I believe people fall in a large grey area, some more close to either side than others. But the idea that a single person could be solely evil is something out of a Disney movie. Common people of our society cannot simply be labeled as "good" or "evil".  

I do think at some times it seems easier to divide people into either good or evil, but the reality of that is not exactly logical. We have our "evil" moments, amidst our good ones. Movies and books can pull that concept off because after two hours or 400 pages, the story ends and the reality of the characters and plot are not questioned.
