Good/Cooperative - Evil/Uncooperative Can this be the key to a universal truth?

Good and Evil can be effectively substituted with the terms Cooperative and Uncooperative. Cooperative and Uncooperative behavior can be determined simply by finding which action cooperates most effectively with majority opinion. Is this a universal truth?

You can define terms whatever way you like, and that definition will in a fashion be "universally true".

But I don't think very many people will agree that "good" simply means "cooperating with majority opinion".

My humble opinion on the matter is that cooperation, in and of itself, is morally neutral. Japan and Italy cooperated well enough with the Nazi regime. Jesus was an uncooperative bastard insofar as the Romans were concerned.
