Or even just ways they respond to their emotion. You cant really distinguish between them because if you have the same opinion as people like lets say Ghaddafi then you aren't automatically evil are you?

Many famous heroes in history had imperfections

Morals aren't always prevelent.
I'm a pretty likeable person and I know for a fact many people disagree with my opinions, am I evil?
No, people like Hitler were righteous in some minds, but since such things as good or evil are
opinions, who's to say they exist at ALL?
Some of these things are reasons I personally believe that statuses are subjective to opinion and thus you can not for a fact have a status based on things you do, but rather only things you are.
Since a person doesn't change based on other people's opinions there is no good or evil.

As for the relative good and evil, yes, it does mean that it cannot be defined, because if you accept the relative meaning of good and evil, then you accept that they can mean two completely opposite things. With that being said, one word cannot have opposite meanings, it takes away any actual meaning the word once held (if at all).

Your second part about how only ignorant or psychotic people view evil things as good, I'd like to point out that many of the world powers are considered good in their own light, yet evil by those they try to control. Which is right? Who is psychotic?
The best example would probably be America going to war with other countries. The citizens view their country as helpful, peace loving, and all around good; meanwhile, those being attacked view America as evil, along with a good number of people who think America is downright retarded for claiming to go there for peace, or any number of other reasons. Would that make America psychotic or ignorant?

There are grey areas no matter which situation you look at, and it's because of those grey areas, and our ability to add new variables into the situation, that good and evil cannot be defined.
