Any acts which violate either one of these principles may be considered 'evil', and any act which violates one in the name of the other may be considered 'ambivalent', on a scale determined by the degree of adherence versus the degree of violation for each aspect.

That more a ''acquired'' than a ''engrained'' internal morality scale, because it based on the ''value'' teached fron parents/elders/society/surrounding. And of course thoses value came from the time humankind ''created god(s), devil as a mean to help to live in group, but also to protect themself ( ''he
did something harmful agains me because he is evil'' or
''bad thing happend to me because of god(s)/the devil'' )
