Evil: My definition

To me, evil is all forms of actions or behaviors that deviates from the normal norm of moral uprightness or any kind of righteousness. In other words, it usually diverges from what a well-intentioned person would do. Thus, evil can dwell in every aspect of our lives. A kind of evil can exist in a friendship. Affairs such as betrayal between friends are staged in people’s everyday life. A friend can talk something bad and false behind your back. A friend can even sometimes decide to not bother to talk to you. In my opinion, people are not born evil. Of course people are born with greed or jealousy, but I don’t consider that to be evilness. A baby child could not have thought of a thing as killing or murdering. It is the external influence or environment that can impact a child’s thoughts. For example, if a child lives in a family that often exercises violence on he or she, the child can turn evil and in turn hold the same behavior toward others. I think evilness is intentional.  No one is forced to do evil; only you can decide what you want to do. Thus, I think evil is rooted from the heart.
