The so-called good concept is relatively superior to the evil concept as such good actions produce less karma and bondage than the so-called evil concepts.
The value of a so-called good concept is that it helps to get rid of more negative ones. As Mooji stated, " Sometimes you need a thorn (concept) to remove another thorn (concept). " But the so-called good concept attains its intended objective only if it helps to get rid the mind of all conceptual conditionings that obscures the truth, as the truth is not a mere intellectual concept or emotional projection.
But if it stagnates in this regard of wiping out all conditioning's that blur the truth or reality as it is and becomes a mere belief-set, the so-called good concept can tend to be regressive, evil and prevent proper perception of reality as it is.
So-called witches that had been persecuted throughout the world were actually highly spiritual women having developed psychic powers which were misunderstood by the conditioned society around them. The author Dan Brown had stated that the persecution and genocide of these so-called witches in Europe lead to a vacuum of feminine energies and spirituality in European society and predominance of the masculine energies. This in turn lead to numerous battles and wars in europe disproportionate to its population, culminating in the world wars.
This conditioned perception of good and evil is also the reason for the numerous conflicts between religions which manifests as war, intolerance and so on.
Freedom from all concepts and beliefs can generate an intelligent response to any situation rather than an emotive or reactive one.

as it turns out the problem with such a path is that when you've traveled it for a while you start instinctively calling it 'good' but won't let yourself know what you've done.
