Does labeling as good or evil make it to be so?

I am writing in light of my treads on veganism and coffee. I am beginning to think that how we label certain things like coffee and veganism for instance influences how it effects us.

For instance, if you go on labeling coffee as a strong upper drug then it might end up having some of those effects of an upper drug on you. But if you don't label it so strongly then it might not have those effects on you. Same as with veganism. If you are strongly opinionated about animal rights and how eating only plant based food is lesser violence and what not, then if you do eat meat you might really feel like a some sort of bad killer and doing it might have certain effects on you.

But if you see it as ok and simply a part of food chain and you still remain with the belief that you are good when it comes to how you want to spend the eternity then that's how it might effect you.

But then again. I was in a car accident when I was about 4 years old. I was supposedly in a Mercedes wich allegedly preaty much saved us because we got hit by the bus. This was supposed to be around 1982. Now I don't remember labeling bus, the car I was in or either of the drivers as evil, but I was physically hurt and I ended up in a hospital.

Or let's say if someone ends up hurting someone else, just because they enjoy violence, but the person getting hurt didn't even know the person prone to violence means that he wouldn't have labeled him or jer as violent but he or she still is.

So my question is: How much and in wich cases in life does labeling and judging effect what that wich we label as good or evil is?

Thanks

 

with regards the food thing, thats just the placebo/nocebo effect. oh, hang on, did i just say "just" the placebo/nocebo effect? because the placebo/nocebo effect is fucking INSANE

pacemakers start working after they've been put in but BEFORE they've been turned on. that fact blew my mind out my ears. same thing with food as with drugs, tell someone theres no caffiene in something, it won't have the same effect as if you tell 'em its loaded with it.

good and evil are relative terms, so really our label of something/one as good or evil is the only arbiter of whether or not they are, its just our perception. Evil's never been a concrete concept, perceptions of what is and is not evil have changed throughout the ages.

of course, tell someone enough times that they're a criminal, evil or whatever and eventually you'll alter their perception of themselves, which will may make them more prone to conform to whatever you labelled them as.
