87 What is: evil

What is evil?

Is it a concept? Where certain actions create a circumstance to be considered evil?

Is it a mindset? Where an individual/s hopes or work towards the downfall of others?

Or is it an idea? An idea that if these things happen that makes you evil? That the circumstances are you are in are evil ? That the idea is wrong?

Is it the opposite of good or is that just a misconception?

In literature the concept of evil is something that is against the status quo. Often at times it is also seen as a loss of life, tearing down governments, or trying to change something.

Two of the circumstances above I would not consider evil. Trying to change what is wrong and tearing down the government can be a good thing.

Tearing down the government is how most countries were created. Going to get the status quo is how we create change. Going against the status quo is what has brought us the different civil rights movements.

How could these things be considered evil?

So the question is what is evil?

Is it a concept?

Is it a mindset?

Is it a idea?

And is evil truly what we believe it is?
