"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." - from Hamlet , Wm. Shakespeare; Act II, scene ii

do you agree or disagree? its very debatable.

Agree. "Good" and "bad" do not exist in nature. They are labels that humans have given to certain acts, people, beliefs, etc. Thus, "good" and "bad" are completely subjective.

Not that it matters much. The root of all objectivity is subjectivity, so everything is subjective. As Renè Decartes put it, the only thing you can truely be certain of is that we are "things that think". This is the only absolute truth. Nothing more, nothing less.

In a sense, it roundaboutly addresses Hamlet. If we're unsure that good is actually good, is it really good? For all we know good could be evil. Do good and evil really exist? (The answers no, yes, and no.)
