There are no such things as "good" and "evil" or "right" and "wrong".

Except as opinions which depend on the point of view from which an
individual may perceive events.  Points of view are randomly
distributed and depend solely on one's self-interests and one's
location in space relative to the crowd.

Self interest is the keyword. But distant events (as most of them are)
in time and space are rapidly attenuated in their effects on one's
opinion. Which results in most people's opinions being neutral about
most things, neither good nor bad.

Which is just the same as saying most people just don't think about
things unless things are in their immediately vicinity. People are
naturally mentally bone idle.  As with all lifeforms, this conserves
energy which is always in short supply.
