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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Evil, by definition, is that which endangers the good, and the good is what we perceive as a value.
Evil is the interruption of a truth by the pressure of particular or individual interests.
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' is quite a blanket term. People aren't the demonic characters we would like them to be sometimes.
Evil is a miscellaneous collection of nasty things that nasty people do.
For something to be completely evil is to be nothing. Satan has good attributes - intelligence, for instance - but they are corrupted. I cannot reconcile myself emotionally to alternative understandings of evil.
Evil has no substance of its own, but is only the defect, excess, perversion, or corruption of that which has substance.
There is no explanation for evil. It must be looked upon as a necessary part of the order of the universe. To ignore it is childish, to bewail it senseless.
Evil is a source of moral intelligence in the sense that we need to learn from our shadow, from our dark side, in order to be good.
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.
