Until an objective definition of evil/good is reached or at least approached, then you're on the roundabout so to speak.
That would be the first so-called problem faced. I would suggest just beginning with some concept, and then thinking how it might fit into reality.

Now aside from that, which is what is really being sought - unless that is one would prefer to just gather opinions and stay on the roundabout - the other part that has been included in the discussion relates to perception.

The way in which an individual perceives either the shells or beach in the scenario above, or another individual or a particular act leads to how things will play out, simply speaking.
