That view is called relativism, and I strongly agree with it. There is no absolute good or bad, just the facts and how we choose to deal with them.

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.)

This is very true. Things; more like everything is what we want them to be. My house getting robbed could have been a bad thing...to many of my family members it was, but for me; I learned that I didn't care for the money that was taken because my family was left unharmed. Then again, my money wasn't stolen...it was my parent's, but you get my point... Overall, I learned to place value on people and not possessions.
