Is a symbols meaning based on its created meaning or the meaning given by each individual?


- Is the candy cane a Christian symbol or only to those who chose to see it as such?

- Is the 'devils horns' rock music symbol a sign of devoltion to satan or only to those who make the sign with their hands with Satan in mind?

- Can something on earth be completely evil or only if people choose to see it and believe it is evil and use it for evil purposes?
