good is a comparison to evil, so therefore without evil there cna be no good, there can be nothing except moderation, and that wouldn't be a world worth living in

So, without lying there would be no honesty?

not really but thats not a fair comparison because ovbiously with no possesions there could be no stealing but i suppose thats not a fair comparison either, what im saying is that the comparison would dissapear, aswell as the word good, the essence of good or evil would dissapear completely, as if the words were never invented

Do you think that if everyone was 'good' -- let's say honest, trustworthy, charitable, patient, or
whatever virtues you would conceive for 'good' -- we couldn't imagine evil?

To keep it simple, if no one ever lied, do you think the idea of lying would disappear?

If all everyone ever did was lie, would anyone listen? 🙂

You could in many cases deduce the truth.
