Do We Know What Evil Is?

[quote author=Kwami link=topic=94532.msg605128#msg605128 date=1418598169]
The universe be it physical  or metaphysical operates on the premise on equal and opposite. 
If there is good there must be evil . If there  are protons , there must be electrons. .. ying .. yang .. light .. darkness . Cant  have the same

Evil occurs when one human denies another being their humanity. Evil is when one person  is motivated to intentionally inflict pain on another person. The evil person has no regard to how that pain affects the other person or the people around them.

Does anyone really have the power to decide who can be humane and who can't?

Isn't humanity a property of the heart and will?

It's very difficult, next to impossible, to reverse the suffering in the world when people don't know what it is and what's causing it. People are like little babies turning a lamp over on themselves and don't know why or what hit them.

You can start that in another thread.

So Map,


You say you know what light is, but you haven't answered my question.


What is it?

WE CANT MEET PATTACAKE...DAT IS WHY I LEF' THE THREAD.  YOU START by ACCEPTING THAT THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED EVIL.  ALL YOU HAVE ARGUED SO FAR IS ON THAT BASIS

YOU ASK WHAT IS EVIL BUT FROM WHAT YOU SAY YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS ALREADY...SO WHY ASK ::confused::

YOUr MIND IS NOT OPEN AS PER YOUR QUESTION....

maybe you should have asked:  look I know what evil is allyuh, but I keen to know what allyuh think it is ::confused::
