Meh....a human being is a subjective creature by nature. Whether we like it or not, we all see the world through different eyes. Hence, it is impossible (in my opinion) to have an objective view on morality. Morality itself is in the eyes of the beholder. If it wasn't, all philosophers would be on the same page instead of having constant discussions since the beginning of time on what is right and what is wrong. There are no facts when it comes to ethics (like 2+2=4), it all just feelings and usually a lot more complicated then you think. The only good thing from arguing ethical behavior is that you can learn something new from the perspective of another. However, if you argue for the sake that "you're wrong and I'm right" sort of attitude, then it's kind of a waste of time.
Good and evil is an interpretation, not by a society, but by an individual. At least, in a society such as ours which is not interdependent. We have strayed from the 'community' type role and (in my opinion) most americans seem to prefer an independent state of mind with his/her own view points on the world. Where in other countries, interdependence sort of dictates an overall (this is how you should act) type society.
I don't think someone is evil, good, selfish, selfless, vain, pitiful, great, etc. based on what society dictates. I do so based on my own interpretation. A lot of folks get angry at me cause they can't stand that I disagree with them when they have that (2+2=4) mindset. I just tell 'em that they probably shouldn't waste their emotional energy in trying to change me, because I am who I am and if I want to interpret something in my own way, there is nothing anyone can do to stop. For the record, I never considered Sephiroth to be evil. There world isn't black and white.
