Anti-Evil
Good often fails to act as an anti-evil,
yet evil always acts as an anti-good.
Think about it. It's what allows evil to prevail so easily.
But good prevails evil in general.
Update:
Hi guys, Thanks for your wonderful comments. My blog entry was about how a 'good' spiritual buddist monk or priest would not be able to stop a single Nazi officer. Yet a simple criminal with a gun could hurt as many good people as he wanted.
My comments are simply discussing the power of Good versus the power of Evil.
Of course evil will always come out of supposed acts of Good (whatever degree you determine it), and good will always result from some acts of evil (it's the complexity of the world).
The power of Evil in a person, will always act as an anti-good. In that it will take good, or a good moment away.
But Good, a good person, a good priest, throughout his course of duties, cannot stop a criminal from committing evil (obviously I am talking in extremes here).
Some use this logic as the basis for the 'Just War'.
But the debate lingers on in the battle between Good and Evil.
(I'm a Zoroastrian, the religion of the ancient prophet, Zarathusthra, who discovered the concept of Good Versus Evil, over 3,500 years ago)

which "one's" good are you refering to? Because your good may be my damnation... Is there a general "good" ?
I disagree.
Good can come of evil just the same way evil can come from good. For an example, I steal candy from a baby and give it to my friend Fred. (good for Fred bad for baby.)
Statements like these seem to forget that there is no act in the world that is entirely good or evil, or if there is, it is the exception.
Are you trying to say that more evil comes from good than good comes from evil? I cant understand that idea, because good and evil are so vague. I think evil prevails so easily because being evil gives you power and money. That is, if you are evil and cunning. If you are just evil, people will tend to hate you, I think.
Being anti-something in reality means before for that something! you should for good not anti-evil!
didnt you at least watch the movie Secret or read any such book! the word anti is not registered by our brain.
Like anti-war, no - for peace! notice the difference!
Do what is best for you, but dont hurt anybody else in the process! Only if your motives are utterly selfish will your good be somebody's evil!
