Please explain the difference between “don’t be evil” and “Do the right thing”.

”do the right thing” requires taking action

“Don’t be evil” can be achieved passively

For example, if you spend all day watching TV you probably haven’t done evil, but you probably also haven’t done anything ‘right’

Right and evil are both words with a lot subjective meaning

It's easier to agree on what's evil than what's right
