![]() What makes something evil? Is there such thing as objective evil? Universal evil? Can a person be evil, or just their actions? Were people such as Hitler evil? After all, he believed that he was doing a good thing. Does this make him less evil than the average sadistic serial killer? |

I personally think there is some things or people that classify as "evil" in the world. Though I also believe "evil" is seen differently by a lot of people. A person cannot really be evil unless their actions pretty much represent being evil and twisted. Even then, I believe a person can't truly be "evil". Like Serial killers for example, if they like slaughtering people for the fun of it, then I believe they're pretty much deranged and insane in the head. I think a person like that isn't really evil, but has gone through so much psychological shit in their lives to become the way they are. As for Hitler, he was just doing what he believed was "right". He didn't see it as evil, but as "righteousness", I suppose. |

Of course, I do think there's an evil. If there wasn't an evil, then there wouldn't be a good. Although, a person can have both an evil side and a good side, you can't tell me that you've never done anything morally wrong in your life. But, evil is needed, as you learn from it. |

As my first post suggests, the nature of this topic is to define what evil actually is. Only after that can you debate its existence. |

Well, to sum it up. Evil is just the distortion of a person's mental stability to the point where they're just batshit crazy and do things that'd be classified as "evil". |

I think it's a matter of psychological perspective. But I personally believe that everyone has a bit of evil inside them at all times. |

By that definition, is a sane person incapable of evil then? |

Depends what you mean by "sane". Sure, a person might look like they're normal and stable from the outside, but their minds might be entirely deteriorated on the inside. Anyways, this is just my opinion, be free to show me yours. |

I don't believe a person can be categorized as evil. People do good as they understand it. I believe that an action may be considered profoundly immoral by others however. Some people may do things knowing that what they are doing is unrighteous and "evil". I'm not sure what to think of that. So yeah, enlighten me. |
