For the Greater Evil...!

Since the dawn of civilization, there’s been a split classification in humans irrespective of any other classifications that followed it. It’s not being Male or female..! It’s a much bigger one, it includes gods as well.. It’s being good or evil.

Have you people ever realized, that there are good people who are evil in some ways, but have been portrayed to us as a epitome of Goodness?

Here’s a few of the interesting cases through mythology and history, which posed a question about the Good people a.k.a Heroes, Here’s some instances of Good guys being evil (and evil people being good)..

You decide who’s the greater evil (or good) of them.

1. Adam and Eve - was it Satan who persuaded eve to eat the apple or the god who put the damn evil tree in middle of Eden in the first place.

2. Ramayana – Is it RAVANA, who went by the rules of that era where’ having multiple wives and marrying another man’s wife, after kingdom’s been conquered’ was common or RAMA, who destroyed an entire kingdom and killed innocent people, because his wife was kidnapped?

3. Ramayana again – is it RAVANA, who after kidnapping seetha waited for her permission to touch her or RAMA, who asked his wife to walk through fire in doubt of her purity and after being proven pure, sent his pregnant wife to forest alone.

4. Mahabharata – is it Dhuryodhana, who gave a part of his kingdom to his friend to make a peasant into a King, or Krishna, who let his friend’s teen son (abimanyu) die in battlefield.

5. Mahabharata – is it the Pandavas, who won the war by sabotaging the art of the war or Gauravas who lost it for playing fair.

6. WW2 – Germany for trying to prove race dominance to the world by genocide or USA, who showed world dominance by destroying 2 cities with Atomic bombs.

There are many more from where these came from, a bit of digging would reveal a lot more about the Heroes and Villains, after all history is written by Winners.

I will soon follow up this post with some other interesting instances. Till then, Think about it.
