Imagine a world where only evil exists. Think of it as an anarchist world where the fittest take what they want.

No. You cannot have one without the other. When people start seeing things as good, only then will other things become bad. You cannot have black without white, dark without light, and evil without good

When people see some things as beautiful,
other things become ugly.
When people see some things as good,
other things become bad.

Being and non-being create each other.
Difficult and easy support each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low depend on each other.
Before and after follow each other.

No. Evil cannot exist without good, and good cannot exist without evil.

No they depend on eachother for their meaning..Everything put on this earth is essentially good, its what people do with it that makes it evil

Well, I was going to type out a response. But then I noticed this, and realized that you pretty much hit the nail on the head, and I can't really say much more.

Relative terms. You can't have one without the other.

Evil and Good or both simply value-laden labels we apply to things we accept/don't accept, like/don't like, tolerate/don't tolerate.

Neither exists.

No I'm pretty sure they exist. It's just if you believe in them or not that is the question. Just because you don't believe in good and evil doesn't make those words or their associated meanings just disappear.

Evil is by definition the absence of good.

Everything can't be evil, without good there would be no comparative. There has to be something worse than good to be evil.

Just like darkness is the absence of light.

"Evil" is only considered so because we have "Good" to compare it to. Therefore, no.

I didn't realize I'd said "the concept of good and evil doesn't exist," or "the words good and evil don't exist."

I actually said good and evil don't exist. They are not objectively real.
