People who are neutral with respect to good and evil have compunctions against killing the innocent but lack the commitment to make sacrifices to protect or help others. Neutral people are committed to others by personal relationships.
Being good or evil can be a conscious choice. For most people, though, being good or evil is an attitude that one recognizes but does not choose. Being neutral on the good–evil axis usually represents a lack of commitment one way or the other or being extremes in different areas of moral choice(Mugging people and rescuing children might balance it out), but for some it represents a positive commitment to a balanced view. While acknowledging that good and evil are objective states, not just opinions, these folk maintain that a balance between the two is the proper place for people, or at least for them.
[[SRD:Animal Type|Animals]] and other [[SRD:Creature|creatures]] incapable of moral action are neutral rather than good or evil. Even deadly [[SRD:Snake|vipers]] and [[SRD:Tiger|tigers]] that eat people are neutral because they lack the capacity for morally right or wrong behavior.
