Fair v/s foul has been an eternal battle and an eternal conflict. Everywhere, in everything and every time. In all aspects of life, in all lifestyles, in all philosophies, and in all thought patterns.
I remember having read about the 3 modes of nature, the mode of goodness, mode of passion and the mode of ignorance. However, that was much later in my life. Earlier my opinion was that the world is just black and white. I realized much later that there were shades of Gray and shades of the whole VIBGYOR. But, somehow I could never correlate with colors.
It was much later when I realized that, White is the Mode of Goodness, and Black is the Mode of Ignorance. All other colors and shades exist in the realm of the Mode of passion. However, what I have always believed, and still believe is that Mode of passion is something that helps one maintain the balance between White and Black, the Foul and the fair.
............ Honestly.......... my thoughts on this subject always seem to get overwhelmed, where in i can't put them in an organized fashion at all. so, i need to end it up here. will add as Fair v/s Fol (2 ) and (3) and so on, as and when i keep getting those.........................

I have thought it is individual perception of how we define what we define as foul, for someone else it may still fall in the very realm of fairness. the boundaries of colors are sometimes situational, sometimes defined by convenience of life, of perceived and anticipated difficulties of accepting opposite. Human morality is after all so subjective..but is it not that the intelligent human is quite well conscious of fair and foul - yet might choose to declare something as fair given the need and benefit
