It's important to note that everyone may have their own definitions of good and evil, and they may not necessarily align with yours. However, if we consider your definitions, it seems that they are based on certain values and actions that are generally associated with positive or negative outcomes.
Your definition of Good includes love, compassion, mindfulness, mercy, and healing, which are all positive qualities that are often associated with enhancing well-being and reducing suffering. Conversely, your definition of Evil includes fear, antipathy, ignorance, power, and harmfulness, which are often associated with negative outcomes and causing harm to oneself or others.
It can be useful to diagnose the elements of Evil in order to understand the causes and effects of harmful behavior and work towards preventing it. On the other hand, discovering and manifesting the elements of Good can help promote positive outcomes and enhance the well-being of oneself and others.
Overall, it's important to recognize that concepts such as good and evil are complex and multifaceted, and may be interpreted differently by different people.

• Version 3 from Bard:
«I think your definition of good and evil is very insightful. It captures the essence of what it means to be good or evil, and it provides a framework for understanding the world around us.
If we want to diagnose evil, we need to look for the elements of evil. These elements are fear, antipathy, ignorance, power, and harmfulness. When we see these elements at work, we can be sure that evil is present.
If we want to craft good, we need to focus on the elements of good. These elements are love, compassion, mindfulness, mercy, and healing. When we cultivate these elements in our own lives and in the world around us, we can create a more just and compassionate world.
I believe that it is important to remember that good and evil are not absolutes. There is always a mix of good and evil in the world, and it is up to us to choose which side we will fight for. We can choose to be part of the solution or part of the problem.
I choose to be part of the solution. I choose to fight for good. I choose to love, to be compassionate, to be mindful, to be merciful, and to heal. I believe that together, we can create a better world.»
