Evil, when we are in its power, is not felt as evil, but as a necessity, even a duty.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Evil, by definition, is that which endangers the good, and the good is what we perceive as a value.
What we call 'evil' doesn't necessarily deserve any kind of respect or understanding, by any means; it just deserves an acknowledgement of its complexity so we can better understand it - so we can help prevent it.
Evil is the moment when I lack the strength to be true to the Good that compels me.
Much that we call evil is really good in disguises; and we should not quarrel rashly with adversities not yet understood, nor overlook the mercies often bound up in them.
Sometimes the way you respond to horrific, evil deeds is the measure of one's self as a man, as a nation, as people, as a community.
There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses.
'Evil' is quite a blanket term. People aren't the demonic characters we would like them to be sometimes.
Evil is unintelligible. It is just a thing in itself, like boarding a crowded commuter train wearing only a giant boa constrictor. There is no context which would make it explicable.
Evil exists to glorify the good. Evil is negative good. It is a relative term. Evil can be transmuted into good. What is evil to one at one time, becomes good at another time to somebody else.
Evil is an attack against human spiritual development and enlightenment. All evil, badness, neurosis - it has one motive and one motive only, which is to destroy - to destroy your chance of arising above yourself.
