Is there evil in the world or is it all relative?
How do you know what's evil, or good?
Have you ever done something you thought was going to be good and had it come out bad?
Or, do something you thought was going to be bad and had it come out good?
How do we know the true outcomes of anything we do? Maybe we do something completely innocuous to us that has a destructive effect on someone else we don't know?
It takes just as much wisdom to be truly evil as to be truly good.
Remember when you were 3 years old and you wanted some candy? But, your parents wouldn't let you have the candy? To you, in your 3yr. old mind, that was evil. How could your parents not let you have what you wanted? Your parents had better vision than you and didn't want you eating only candy.
There are a lot of things that happen that we don't like but that doesn't make them good or evil. To know good or evil takes the ability to know the real outcomes of events.
It's all relative. When the last star flickers out in the inevitable heat death of the universe, who will be there to give a shit about genocide or rape or stealing four dollars in quarters to play the arcade? What morality? What entity?
All that matters is pain and pleasure: the most tangible basis we have for any sense of good versus evil. How much? Intentional? Who to who? How many? What kind? What's being traded/sacrificed? Why? Even then, it just matters to us, right now. We're nothing more than apes on a rock and I think we'd be better off embracing that idea than coming up with transcendent forces or whatever.
Evil is a concept, not a concrete substance or entity. It exists, but only subjectively.
Evil as in Satan? No. But there are people on this planet that have a skewed version of Right and Wrong, which can be viewed as evil.
No evil. People that have been damaged by some form of abuse and some with brain defects. Some have been taught to hate, fear, use, and abuse.
As someone who used to be evil yes. A lot of it was self induced, but forces of grief and excessive bullying played a role. I also had a bit of an obsessive personality which compounded the problem. The horrible relationship i was in didn't help things.
No evil. Reactive. No one is born evil. Evil is a word made up to explain why bad things happen and god is given the credit for all good things. No such thing as evil, cruel yes evil no.
Well I'm not saying evil in the super powerful forces sense, more of the set of traits we normally label as such.
I remember at one point i had a pretty dark set of emotions. I felt like i hated everyone and everything. People around me caught on and became frustrated. I don't blame them because i did some pretty horrible things while i was in this mindset.
Which made your actions cruel not evil.
Whatever you want to call it. I find more to evil than cruelty. Manipulating others in ways that are apathetic to thier well being, abandoning friends (not cruel but highly insensitive) ignoring responsibilities which have no benefit to you, being apathetic to others and playing loud music at night XD
Evil is a word made up by theists to describe things they don’t like.
How about corrupt or unethical or vile?
That describes tRUMP.
There's knowing right from wrong. There's no evil in this world. Just a lot of stupid people.
