How do you define it?
Is it real?

i believe that people who are 'evil' are suffering from a mental illness.
Originally posted by stellspalfieI generally refer to dictionaries for definitions, so as to avoid a sort of verbal solipsism.

Evil is a word to describe the badness in everything and everybody.
But not all are mentally ill. I believe that some people are just
plain evil and not mentally ill.
It all depends I suppose on your sensibilities and what you define as
mentally ill. Every time I lock my door I check it to see if it is locked.
Am I mentally ill????????
Are people mentally ill simply because they have no feelings or
empathy towards others? There are people out there ( millions of them )
who don't give a @@***%$£ about you or me or anyone else.
Does that make them evil? Or mentally ill?

a person with no empathy has a mental illness as far as im concerned.
i dont think its possible to be 'just evil' there is always a reason why somebody acts in a 'evil' way and its nearly always down to traumatic experiences as a child or brain defects.
Originally posted by stellspalfieEvil is the opposite of good. So find out what good is and do good instead of evil.
