Good and evil fortune was ascribed to the will of gods and spirits which needed to be constantly propitiated with gifts but especially the presentation of the bodies of slain victims which would then be redistributed for cooking and eating.
It is the painful passionate struggle in the human soul of its free will between good and evil that produced the great European culture with hero as the incarnated duty.
Another is that good means lasting happiness while evil means unhappiness.

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
As these evils are incomparably more common here below than the good things, and as all human resources are oft times insufficient, it follows that devotedness and submission to the holy will of God are the only solid comfort which remain to a Christian amidst afflictions and crosses, whatsoever maybe their nature.
Good fights evil, Law fights order, the God falls from grace, lives on earth, descends into Hell and rises again.

Ours is the good news that due to those evils found in our own hearts because of sin, the Father sent the Son to be our Savior and that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting our trespasses against us.
It is not that God refuses to forgive; it is that the person who sees good as evil and evil as good is quite unable to repent and thus to come humbly to God for forgiveness.
There good and evil are fully brought to an issue, hatred in man and love in God, sin and the righteousness of God against it.
