LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Now before you all give the same answer as usually is given how evil is subjective and such...I want you all to think. Think and dig deeply. What represents evil to you? Everyone has some idea of what they view as evil, every single person. Something you truly find despicable and wrong. Even if it's something unrealistic or imagined. So, YCM, tell me. What is evil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that does not necessarily make it wrong, as we are faced with "the lesser of two evils" continually. I don't see actors as evil, only ever actions.

Tourmaline Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 The only evil you can grasp is whatever makes you cry. Your artifacts are all you understand, as well as the tainting of novelty with the filter of those unique artifacts. Thinking everyone must have an undeniable idea of evil is an example of the short-sightedness you are bound to. An exhibition of solipsism. If that's the case, then evil ought to exist, and because it makes you cry, then it could only mean good and intellectual advancement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What truly is evil cant be defined by one person alone because everyone has different values, views and thoughts. Evil to individuals is what upsets and goes against that individuals perceived values and views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nyx Avatar Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 In all seriousness, though. What I truly find evil: Someone murders someone; that murder shows no emotion. A person is is violated; the violater sees their victims as nothing more than a means. Not exactly sure where I was going with this. I had something, and then I lost it.

I imagine the condition was included so as to simply bypass this discussion and get people to explain what they perceived as, if not technically evil, then the worst things possible to be done by or to a human being.

Tourmaline Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Unfortunately if Toyo repeats what I say it could never mean what I meant, not because of a flaw in either party, but because to either party, there is undeniably nothing but the party in question. If your understanding of language is enough to be worth considering with an understanding of linguistics being universal, experienced and innate, then you should know that nobody shares a language and nobody can share an idea in truth.

Makο Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 What evil is on a grand scale, within the whole of the universe, doesn't matter. What good and evil once were, throughout history, makes little difference to us. What matters is how good and evil are now, within the society in which we're confined. This is something I'd like to make clear before we go too deep into anything. Evil is mostly circumstantial, usually weighing itself against something else. For example, killing a child is super evil. However, if killing this child would save 5 other children, then would it be more evil to kill that one child and let the others die, or vice versa? It's at this point you're unable to think in terms of moral values, and you have to in terms of hard numbers. If both options are evil, which would benefit us in the long run? Clearly, killing that one child would be. So it would not be considered as necessarily "evil" anymore. More of a... how you say, unfortunate circumstance. Point being, Evil is seeing something and going "Hey, what the fυck" or "Why would you do that", or something to that effect. However, if that thing occurred for a reason which you personally find reasonable, then it might not particularly be evil anymore. However, there are outliers, especially in terms of events that are non-instantaneous, i.e. sparing the life of a terrorist on moral values, despite the threat of him killing more people in future attacks. And all this does not even begin to make mention of "big evil" vs "small evil", or the difference in personal values and morals that determine evil. It's all very convoluted. yay rambles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epicmemesbro Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I personally think that it is nearly impossible for one to be truly evil. I think if one is evil they made a choice to be. One could say one is born evil, but chances are those people lack impulse control, hence they are not evil if they can't control themselves. I think the truly evil has complete control over his/her actions. I don't think such a person has existed however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
