On a little side-note, however, I think I have an easier time engaging in "good and evil"-discussions in Swedish, because the Swedish word for "evil" is a bit interesting. The word "ond", means "hurting" and "angry" as well as "malicious". I find that interesting and surprisingly suitable, since villains -at least the ones with any debth to speak of- often seem to have a lot of anger, and hurt, that they handle by hurting others.
ITA about the part of "evil" being easier in Swedish as the word is more abstract to me... and I feel that it can be talked about in more different ways
