evil is an absence of good, evil is an absence of good intent, evil is the want to do harm without any positive intent
Evil describes actions which betray one's own self or inhibits the freedoms of another. All people have some kind of moral compass, and not acting accordingly, is evil. The only truth that can ever be truly proven is the truth of personal existence; therefore the only things which are good or evil are those individuals perceive to be so. Betraying or straying from the personal conscience that all people possess is an evil act. However, inhibiting others freedom and ability to guide themselves morally is also evil. Failing to assume responsibility for one's self or assuming responsibility for another are the root of all evil acts.
yeah that is a sociopath defiantly. if i was gonna think of what I personally think is evil, that is the first thing that popped into my mind also. hmmm but actually, maybe the opposite of a sociopath is just as evil if not more evil.... someone that DOES feel guilt but keeps on fucking people over anyways.... *ponders*
I'm not saying they have your societally accepted "conscience"; I'm just saying that everyone has some kind of moral compass. I'm not saying that everyone would approve of said compass. Just that it exists. Sociopaths have moral compasses, they are just very lax compared to the norm. Just because something is broken doesn't mean it isn't there.
in the most severe cases there are people who say it isn't of course some of those same people say I can't lie and have no emotion, go autism...... so not really saying I believe it, just saying theorhetically there are people without that compass
(to me, at least right now anyway) Evil is finally getting Charlie and the Chocolate Factory after going through a long a thorough search, repairing it and repairing it, then trying to watch it only to have a glitch in the source code. And to realize that Depp isn't doing that great of a job in the first place.
I know that, I'm saying some psichaitrists (I know I spelled that shit wrong) think that some sociopaths have absolutly no moral compass where the fuck do you think the term moral compass comes from?
A conscience is a societally accepted sense of "good". (society believes killing is wrong) Compass refers to which direction something is pointing. (a sociopath may see killing as good or neutral)
