Good vs Evil
Good and evil are the terms often used for this but fail to capture the true meanings of the word. 'Good' is assumed to mean concern for others while 'Evil' means deliberate harm for the sake of it. Efforts to pin down 'neutral' are even worse, typically going something like this: neutral people don't care but if you don't care about taking life then you are evil so therefore there isn't a neutral.

The definition of Good is the best of the lot. Good does mean a respect for life and wishes of others but it can verge upon inactivity and lack of motivation and sometimes ignore the greater good.

Neutral characters actually have traits of both good and evil. They have quams against conducting evil actions but can't be bothered to go out of the way and do good things (you probably fit into this category).

Evil ones are only evil in the pursuit of a goal, be it money, social improvement or power.
