It’s mainly subjective that constitutes evil and good simply because everyone thinks differently on this planet. Good and evil are quality judgments, just like hot and cold, light and dark, and near and far are quality judgments. Quality judgments are evaluations that we humans make relative to our own experience as human beings. Hot is what is hot to us. Far is what is far to us. Good is what is good to us. Evil is what is bad to us. Good and evil are quality judgments that we make relative to ourselves and our experiences here on Earth.
In some cases something that may seem good to us, may be wrong to someone else. For example, in western countries it’s seen as a good friendly relationship if a girl were to hug a guy. However in the Middle East if a girl was to give a guy a hug, the society would look at it the wrong way. It depends on how a society has been brought up and how their culture view good and evil as.

I enjoyed reading the comparisons written and good point about "good" means different things to different people.
