For that matter, 'bad' doesn't need to mean anything at all. Not unless you want it to.

"Are they not?" Galadriel cants her head lightly to the side. "I hardly think it so simple. Some of the greatest of my people have inspired fear as well as awe. 'Dangerous,' I believe, is quite distinct from 'bad.'"

"Certainly." She replies, giving another little shrug, "A hungry wolf can be dangerous, but it isn't bad by itself, it's merely doing what it must to survive."

A small smile, not entirely mirthless, but not particularly joyful either, "But to a frightened human, alone and about to become dinner, it's very bad indeed."
