Who Is Evil?
The world is made of good and evil people. There are some, who
are nothing but emperors of evilness. Hitler was one such
person. There are many like him. But we also have evil persons
in our society who are generally not considered evil, but are
evil. Let me write my thoughts on such people. Some people speak
words that break hearts. Does real happiness ever come by
hurting others? Let us talk more about what is evil.
For me, a person who hits a stray dog with a stone just for fun
is a bad person. One who gives pains to friends for no reason is
a bad person. One who looks at wrong things, and decides to do
nothing is evil. One who hurts feelings of loved ones is a bad
person. One who lets other people sleep in hunger without doing
anything about them is a bad person. One who wants bigger share
of the pie is a bad person. One who shouts and makes others fear
him/her is a bad person. One who never tries to understand
feelings of others is a bad person. One who treats poor people
as dirt, is a bad person. One who decides about characters by
looks and passes judgments is a bad person. One who reads a sad
story in the newspaper, without getting affected in any way is a
bad person. One who shows no respect for those who work for
others is a bad person. One who does not sympathize at others
losses is a bad person. One who always tries to prove his/her
superiority over others is a bad person. On and on I can write.
What is not good is bad. That is how I call such people bad.
Rather than calling them as not good persons, I call them as bad
persons. All this may look quite shocking and many will protest
about what all I have written above. All right, let me say, that
I will not call the person a bad person, but the act as a bad
act. I hope that now I am more acceptable.
Then, what is evil? Evilness is a quality in a person, whereby
that person hurts others in ways that the very life is taken
away. One need not kill with a sword to be called evil. At
times, making false allegations on someone who never did what
he/she is being blamed with is enough to kill the spirit and the
body. That act is evil, and the person who acts like that is
evil.
